High efficiency transient expression of eukaryotic genes : use of an HSV-1 immediate early promoter (ICP4)

We have compared the transcriptional efficiencies of a number of eukaryotic promoters following DNA-mediated transfection into cultured rat hepatoma cells. We find that the highest levels of expression for the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene are observed with a herpes...
