Transcriptional activation of a hybrid promoter composed of cytomegalovirus enhancer and β-actin/β-globin gene in glomerular epithelial cells in vivo

The aim of this study was to seek a promoter, transactivated selectively in renal cells in vivo by using transgenic (tg) mouse technology. We generated two kinds of tg mouse lines carrying a green fluorescence protein (GFP) cDNA driven either by cytomegalovirus enhancer and beta-actin/beta-globin…
