P. Ghersa et al., COMMONLY USED CAT REPORTER VECTORS CONTAIN A CAMP-INDUCIBLE, CRYPTIC ENHANCER THAT COOPERATES WITH NF-KAPPA-B-SITES, Gene, 151(1-2), 1994, pp. 331-332
Commercially available and widely used cut expression vectors were fou
nd to contain a forskolin (Fs)-inducible element capable of co-operati
on with NF-kappa B-sites in test promoters. An alternative NF-kappa B-
dependent reporter system is presented that allows investigation of th
e effects of Fs and other agents that augment intracellular cyclic AMP
.
