title: A new luciferase promoter insertion vector for the analysis of weak transcriptional activities.
abstract: A new luciferase-encoding expression vector was generated by inserting the strong transcription termination signal from the mouse c-mos oncogene upstream from a multiple cloning site. This construct significantly reduced background transcription in NIH3T3 cells and has proven useful in the study of a weak promoter from the murine growth-arrest-specific gene gas-1.
