Example
[0082] It is also possible to include more coding sequences on the same transcription unit, downstream of the (first) polypeptide of interest, e.g. coding for a second selectable marker polypeptide or for a second polypeptide of interest. Such an extra coding sequence downstream of the coding sequence for the first polypeptide of interest then preferably is preceded by a sequence encoding a translation reinitiation site or internal ribosome entry site (IRES), such that also the second polypeptide of interest or the second selection marker polypeptide is translated, in this case independently from the earlier two coding sequences. In such an embodiment, it is for instance possible to have the coding sequences for subunits of a multimeric protein, e.g. a heavy and a light chain of an immunoglobulin, encoded as a first and second polypeptide of interest (in any order), to code for subunits of a multimeric protein within a single multicistronic expression unit. It is however preferred t...

Construction of STAR67 Vectors
[0160] A novel anti-repressor (STAR) sequence was isolated using a genetic screen as described in WO 03 / 004704, and this novel sequence was coined STAR67. The effects of STAR67 on expression of transgenes in mammalian cell lines were tested. Here we describe the construction of the various constructs.
Materials and Methods
[0161] Three plasmids were created (FIG. 1):
[0162] A) CMV-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (CMV Control),
[0163] B) STAR67-CMV-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (CMV-STAR67),
[0164] C) STAR7-STAR67-CMV-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo-STAR7 (CMV-STAR67 7 / 7)
[0165] The construction of construct A is described below. Plasmid pd2EGFP (Clontech 6010-1) was modified by insertion of a linker at the BsiWI site to yield pd2EGFP-link. The linker, made by annealing oligonucleotides GTACGGATATCAGATCTTTAATTAAG (SEQ. ID. NO. 67) and GTACCTTAATTAAAGATCTGATAT (SEQ. ID. NO. 68), introduced sites for the PacI, BglII, and EcoRV restriction endonucleases. This created the multiple cloning si...

STAR67 Enhances the Expression Level from CMV, EF1α and UB6 Promoters in Stably Transfected CHO Cells
[0169] We tested whether the presence of STAR67 adjacent to the CMV, EF1α and UB6 promoters influences the expression level of these promoters in CHO cells. The constructs A and B (FIG. 1) described in Example 1 are used for this purpose, modified for the respective promoters:
[0170] 1 CMV-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (CMV Control)
[0171] 2 STAR67-CMV-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (CMV-STAR67)
[0172] 3 EF1α-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (EF1α Control)
[0173] 4 STAR67-EF1α-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (EF1α-STAR67)
[0174] 5 UB6-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (UB6 Control)
[0175] 6 STAR67-UB6-d2EGFP-ires-Zeo (UB6-STAR67).
Materials and Methods
[0176] The UB6 and EF1α promoters were exchanged for the CMV promoter in the plasmids described in FIG. 1. The UB6 promoter was cloned as follows. A DNA 0.37 kb stuffer from the pd2EGFP plasmid was amplified by PCR, as described in example 1, using primers identified by SEQ. ID. NOs. 69 and 70. The res...
