Context-dependent gene expression: cis-acting negative effects of specific procaryotic plasmid sequences on eucaryotic genes.

abstract：:The upstream promoter sequences of the human carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) gene have been studied by 5' deletion analysis. Promoter activity was assayed by transfection and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay in both human HeLa cells and murine L cells. This investigation showed that the CA II promoter is comparab...
