Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to methods for producing cell type-specific expression cassettes and reporter vectors, as well as nucleic acid constructs that can be produced by such methods. Cell type-specific expression cassettes and reporter vectors are characterized by synthetic cis-regulatory DNA, also known as synthetic locus regions (sLCRs). sLCRs allow cell type-specific expression of reporter or effector genes. The invention further relates to various uses of reporter vectors, including the determination of cell properties, preferably cell type, state or fate transition, in gene and viral therapy, drug discovery or validation. Background technique
[0002] Expression cassettes and reporter vectors have a wide range of applications in basic research, drug screening diagnostics, or gene therapy.
[0003] Selective identification of cell type-specific signatures is critical to understanding biological processes in which diverse cell types contrib...
