From: Novel strong tissue specific promoter for gene expression in human germ cells
Luciferase reporter assay of the promoter activities of SV40, NUS and mNUS elements in twelve human cell cultures. The column height reflects the mean value of relative luciferase activity from at least four transfections, and error bars indicate standard error. Cell lines were: Tera-1, EP2102, Tera-2 (testicular germ cells), NGP127 (neuroblastoma), HepG2 (hepatocarcinoma), A549 (lung carcinoma) and HEK293 (transformed embryonic kidney cells). Primary human cell cultures included macrophages, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC), placental mesenchymal stem cells (PMSC) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM).
