(54) Title: SIMULTANEOUS GENE SILENCING AND SUPRESSING GENE SILENCING IN THE SAME CELL f (57) Abstract: The present invention relates to genetically modified cells that are capable of optimal transgene expression by co-ex pressing a silencing suppressor whilst at the same time are also capable of silencing a gene, such as a naturally occurring gene of the cell. The present invention also relates to methods of producing the modified cells, as well as relates to processes for obtaining a ge netically modified cell with a desired property.
