Systematic Comparison of Constitutive Promoters and the Doxycycline-Inducible Promoter
Constitutive promoters are used routinely to drive ectopic gene expression. Here, we carried out a systematic comparison of eight commonly used constitutive promoters (SV40, CMV, UBC, EF1A, PGK and CAGG […]
Comparison of EF-1 alpha and CMV promoterd for engineering stable tumor cell lines using rAAV
Stable HT-29 clones with > 97% of all cells homogeneously expressing GFP were generated with the EF-1 alpha promoter. In contrast in clones carrying the CMV promoter, only up to […]
Why EF1alpha promoter is so special?
Human elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) is a constitutive promoter of human origin that can be used to drive ectopic gene expression in various in vitro and in vivo contexts. […]
