Abstract
The protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, offers a simple system to study the growth and duplication of the Golgi. Cell lines stably expressing a photoactivatable GFP attached to an endogenous Golgi protein are permeabilized using digitonin. Photoactivation followed by imaging can then be used to follow the formation of the new Golgi.
