CMV promoter is derived from human Cytomegalovirus, which belongs to Herpesvirus group. All family members share the ability to remain in latent stage in the human body. CMV is located upstream of immediate-early gene. However, CMV promoter is an example of widely used promoters and is present in mammalian expression vectors.

Usage & biology

ß-Lactamase (BLA) is an enzyme produced by some bacteria that cleaves the ß-lactam ring of various antibiotics such as penicillin, rendering them inactive. Because the peptides' N- and C-termini are in close proximity to each other, we created a ViralBrick containing BLA to see if capsid assembly still takes place with such a large insert in place. Assembled capsids can easily be detected by a beta-lactamase assay. Sequence and Features
