Abstract: | Bovine papillomavirus-1 (BPV-1) replicates extrachromosomally in certain murine cell lines, suggesting that vectors based on the BPV-1 replicon might provide a means of obtaining more uniform gene expression among independent transformants. We have tested such a vector for the expression in hybridoma cells of the immunoglobulin κ light-chain gene, but found that the level of expression varies greatly among transformants. Our results also indicate that in these transformants the vector has probably been incorporated into chromosomal DNA. |
