Abstract excerpt
Tetracycline-inducible HEK293S stable cell lines have been prepared that express high levels (up to 10 mg/liter) of WT opsin and its mutants only in response to the addition of tetracycline and sodium butyrate. The cell lines were prepared by stable transfection of HEK293S-TetR cells with expression plasmids that contained the opsin gene downstream of a cytomegalovirus promoter containing tetO sequences as well...
