Applications of BBa_K2624000

To improve the selectivity of our system, we utilized hTERT, the cancer-specific promoter, along with HULC, a HCC(Hepatocellular carcinoma)-specific promoter, to open an "AND" gate system to target HCC. We used pGL3-Basic vector, a promoter-less vector for the luciferase assay to determine the transcriptional activity of these promoters. We added the promoters on pGL3-Basic vector and measure the OD value of the luciferase activity. We chose SV40, a highly activated promoter in both cancer cells and normal cells as positive control (PGL3-CON). Results show that hTERT promoter has a good efficiency in cancer cells.
