CpG-island fragments from the HNRPA2B1/CBX3genomic locus reduce silencing and enhance transgene expression from the hCMV promoter/enhancer in mammalian cells
3 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The hCMV promoter is very commonly used for high level expression of transgenes in mammalian cells, but its utility is hindered by transcriptional silencing. Large genomic fragments incorporating the CpG island region of the HNRPA2B1 locus are resistant to transcriptional silencing. RESULTS: In this report we describe studies on the use of a novel series of vectors combining the HNRPA2B1 CpG island...
