Abstract excerpt
A regulatory system for the in-depth study of gene functions in higher eukaryotic cells has been developed. It is based on the tetracycline-controlled transactivators and reverse tTA, which were remodeled to discriminate efficiently between two different promoters. The system permits one to control reversibly the activity of two genes, or two alleles of a gene, in a mutually exclusive way, and also allows one to...
