Abstract excerpt
beta-Globin transgenes regulated by the locus control region (LCR) are dominantly silenced by linked bacterial reporter genes in transgenic mice. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) from jellyfish is an alternative reporter used in retrovirus vectors to transfer LCRbeta-globin genes into bone marrow. We show here that the eGFP coding sequence silences LCRbeta-globin in transgenic mice, but the PGK promoter...
