A Rapid and Quantitative Assay for Measuring Neighboring Gene Activation by Vector Proviruses
22 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
A simple, quantitative assay for measuring the oncogenic potential of integrating vectors is needed in order to improve vector design and safety. In this study, we have developed a transient plasmid-based assay to measure the activation of a reporter gene by an adjacent vector provirus. Plasmid pACT contains a luciferase cassette driven by a minimal, enhancerless promoter, into which vector proviruses are...
