摘要: We developed a novel promoter system, designated SR alpha, which is composed of the simian virus 40 (SV40) early and R segment part U5 sequence (R-U5') long terminal repeat human T-cell leukemia type 1. The R-U5' stimulated chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene expression only when placed immediately downstream SV40 in sense orientation. alpha system was 1 or 2 orders magnitude more active than wide variety cell types, including fibroblasts lymphoid cells, capable promoting high level various lymphokine cDNAs. These features were incorporated into pcD-cDNA cloning vector originally by Okayama Berg.
