This vector contains the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) from Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) between the promoter and the multiple cloning site (MCS). It is designed to be used to express genes using cap-independent expression systems although the mRNAs produced from this vector contain a 5 prime cap. This vector is not designed for the expression of two proteins from the same mRNA. For this purpose we have designed pSF-CMV-EMCV-PciI where the PciI site contains start codons in the correct position for the IRES to express efficiently. In this vector there is an NcoI site (which contains an ATG start codon) in the correct position to enable efficient expression of a gene in the MCS. We have also developed this same vector with the T7 promoter upstream of the IRES to allow the expression of genes using T7 eukaryotic systems.

Promoter Expression Level: This plasmid contains the mammalian CMV promoter to drive gene expression. We have tested all of our mammalian promoters in a range of cell types and CMV is consistently the strongest in those we have studied. However there are many reports of the CMV promoter demonstrating silencing by methylation in long-term culture.
