Depositor Comments

The CMV promoter from the parent pcDNA plasmid was removed with MluI and HindIII, leaving approx. 6400kb backbone. The 2C promoter was put in its place (730bp) using the same sites. Hence, the full plasmid is 7129bp. The promoter is active shortly after fertilization of mouse embryos to about the 8-cell stage. It is also on in a subset of MESCs & miPSCs.
