Depositor Comments

pBS500 carries a GFPcre fusion gene under the control of the elongation factor 1-alpha promoter. The GFP moiety carries the S65T mutation for enhanced fluorescence, but is not codon-optimized for mammalian expression. pBS500 expresses well in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells but this is not the case for the plasmid from which it is derived, pBS448.
