Abstract excerpt
Radiation-inducible promoters are being used in many viral vector systems to obtain spatial and temporal control of gene expression. It was previously proven that radiation-induced gene expression can also be obtained in a bacterial vector system using anaerobic apathogenic clostridia. The effect of radiation inducibility was detected using mouse tumor necrosis factor alpha (mTNF-alpha) as a model protein under...
