Human Estrogen Receptor(alpha) Activity on Estrogen Responsive, Integrated Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase (Cat) Reporter Constructs in Chinese Hamster Ovary (Cho) Cells

Abstract

dc:description

The estrogen receptors endogenous to CHO cells did not induce transcription of chromosomal copies of the more complex 2ERETKCAT promoter. In transient transfections hERα regulated transcription of the three 2ERETKCAT cell lines. We found that an ER mutant containing only AF1 elicited a dose dependent activation of the 2ERETKCAT promoter. This represents the first report of activation of an integrated reporter gene by this activation function.
