Abstract excerpt
We describe the setting up of an in vitro expression system for the analysis of mutations of the beta-globin gene. The system is based on the stable transfection of a normal or mutated beta-globin gene into mouse erythroleukaemia (MEL) cells. The expression construct contains an Agamma gene as an internal control and both globin genes are under the control of the HS2 element of the beta LCR. The system enables...
