Abstract excerpt
Granulocytic differentiation of myeloid NB4 cells was noted to transactivate the genomic human growth hormone (hGH) reporter construct in the absence of a driving test promoter. Such spurious hGH transactivation also occurred upon co-transfection of plasmids expressing the transactivators c-Myb and C/EBPalpha into undifferentiated NB4 cells. Modifications to the reporter gene and the vector resulted in a reporter...
