Abstract excerpt
Rat hepatoma McA-RH7777 cell lines transfected with full-length human apolipoprotein (apo) B constructs produce mostly human apoB48 and only small amounts of apoB100, as a result of mRNA editing at codon 2153 (C to U conversion at nucleotide 6666). To abolish the formation of apoB48 and increase the yield of apoB100 and other forms of apoB longer than apoB48, site-specific mutations were introduced at or near the...
