Evaluation of eukaryotic promoters for the construction of DNA vaccines for aquaculture

We evaluated fish promoters as an alternative to viral promoters in the construction of DNA vaccines for aquaculture. A carp β-actin promoter drove expression of the luciferase gene in live fish tissue to levels comparable to the CMVtk promoter. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
