Abstract

Tissue-specific expression of the desired gene product in the targrt tissue is central to the concept of bioreactor. One approach is to use a tissue-specific promoter to drive desired gene. To investigate the feasibility of tissue-specific gene expression for bladder using the porcine uroplakin(UPII) promoter and its transcriptional control the efficacy of this promoter as well as well as fragments in regulating gene expression were cell lines using DNA transfection.
