HumanSP-Cgene sequences that confer lung epithelium-specific expression in transgenic mice
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
We used transgenic mice to identify cis-active regions of the human pulmonary surfactant protein C (SP-C) gene that impart tissue- and cell-specific expression in vivo in the lung. Approximately 3.7 kb of genomic SP-C DNA upstream of the transcription start site was sufficient to direct chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene expression specifically in bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells of...
