Patent ID: 7011973

Claim:
A recombinant DNA molecule comprising: (a) at least one first regulatory sequence which confers expression in endothelial cells in vivo, wherein said first regulatory sequence is selected from the group consisting of (i) a DNA sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence as given in SEQ ID NO: 1; (ii) a DNA sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 from nucleotide 8260 to nucleotide 10560, from nucleotide 8336 to nucleotide 10608 and/or from nucleotide 10094 to nucleotide 10608; and (iii) a DNA sequence comprising a fragment of a nucleotide sequence of SEO ID NO: 1, wherein the fragment confers endothelial cell-specific expression; and (b) operatively linked thereto a heterologous DNA sequence.
