Abstract
The transient expression level of foreign proteins in primate cells can be enhanced by incorporating the replication elements derived from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Specifically, we have constructed expression plasmids with the replication origin region (OriP) from EBV and an adenovirus-transformed cell line that expresses the EBV nuclear antigens-1 (EBNA-1). As EBV vectors can replicate as episomes in the nuclei, such vectors can have a stable transfection efficiency as high as 25% and provide a straightforward way of obtaining large amounts of recombinant proteins transiently or stably.Entities:
