  1. Luciferase activity (rlu/μg protein) was determined after enrichment of transduced Hela-EM2 cells (ES.1 vectors) constitutively providing the M2 transactivator, or Hela cells (MOV-vector) in the presence (“on“) or absence (“off“) of doxycycline (500 ng/ml). Induction was calculated from the activities determined in the on and off state. ± values reflect SEM. For each vector, two populations were established by one round of sorting (pool purity >90%) and were measured twice.
