Enhancers stimulate transcription of several eukaryotic genes (for review see ref. 1). While some enhancers, like that of simian virus 40 (SV40), are active in a wide range of cell types, others are more cell-specific. For example, the polyoma virus (Py) enhancer is not active in undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, such as F9 cells, while it is active in differentiated cells. In contrast, the SV40...
