Translational Efficiency of EMCV IRES in Bicistronic Vectors is Dependent Upon IRES Sequence and Gene Location
1 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
The internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)from encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a popular RNA element used widely in experimental and pharmaceutical applications to express proteins in eukaryotic cells or cell-free extracts. Inclusion of the wild-type element in monocistronic or bicistronic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) confers a high level of cap-independent translation activity to appropriately configured cistrons....
