CONT

These results suggest that sequence elements that may restrict VIP transcription or cause tissue-specific VIP mRNA accumulation are missing from the transgene. In the testis there is a high level of transgene message but not significant beta-galactosidase activity; this discripency is caused by transcription from a cryptic promoter within the beta-galactosidase sequence.

OBS

Lors de la transcription, il existe parfois deux séquences d'ADN reliées l'une à l'autre, une qui est normale et l'autre dite «cryptique». Quand les deux sont présentes, il n'y a que la normale qui s'exprime. Cependant, quand les deux sont présentes et que la normale est inactive, c'est la séquence cryptique qui s'exprime.
