Abstract excerpt
The expression of the human beta interferon (IFN-beta) gene was activated by the adenovirus E1B-19K protein. The sequence within the IFN-beta promoter which is related to the activation was analyzed by chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) assay. The repeated hexamer units, present within the region between -109 and -65 relative to the cap site, were required for the activation of the IFN-beta gene by the...
