title: Plasmids for the in vitro analysis of RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription based on a G-free template.
abstract: Described are a series of plasmids containing combinations of adenovirus-2 major late promoter elements, including consensus TATA box and initiator, upstream of G-free transcription cassettes of various lengths. These provide an assortment of tools for investigating both basal and regulated transcription mechanisms by in vitro transcription methods.
