Inventor: MASSIE BERNARD
IPC: C12N15/67
Filed: 2008-04-14
Abstract: Efficient and muscle-specific gene expression can be obtained with constructs containing two or more copies of USE and/or .DELTA.USE fused to the minimal promoter of the TnlSlow gene. USE is a small (about 160-bp) upstream enhancer of the TnlSlow gene that confers slow-twitch muscle fiber specificity. .DELTA.USE is generated from a 100-bp deletion at the 5' end of USE. .DELTA.USE confers expression in slow- and fast-twitch muscle fibers. The strength and relatively small size (less than 600-bp) of these constructs make them useful for gene therapy applications.
