Abstract excerpt
Locus control regions such as those of human CD2 and beta-globin differ from classical enhancers in that, whereas the former confer high level, copy-dependent, position-independent expression to linked genes in transgenic mice, the latter do not, expression levels being dependent on the site of integration. We report that the position independence of the CD2 locus control region is modified by coupling it to the...
