General description

The Ubiquitous Chromatin Opening Element (UCOE) technology offers significant advances in recombinant mammalian protein expression. Unlike traditional vectors, UCOE-containing vectors have the capacity to ease the process of isolating cell line clones that express high-levels of recombinant proteins. UCOE sequences promote reproducible and stable high level expression of a linked gene by altering chromatin structure to a transcriptionally permissive state that negates epigenetic-mediated (e.g. DNA methylation) silencing.

CET 1019 contains the 3 kb mouse Rps3 UCOE and the 1.5 kb fragment of human HNRPA2B1-CBX3 UCOE.
CET 1310 contains the 8 kb fragment of human HNRPA2B1-CBX3 UCOE.
CET 1316 contains the 4 kb fragment of human HNRPA2B1-CBX3 UCOE.

DNA methylation may restrict the activity of gene transfer vectors due to inadvertent silencing. In P19 embryonic carcinoma cells in vitro, we found that transgene expression regulated by the SFFV LTR and EF1 alpha promoter declined rapidly within 16 days

The genetic elements that are responsible for establishing a transcriptionally competent, open chromatin structure at a region of the genome that consists only of ubiquitously expressed, housekeeping genes are currently unknown. We demonstrate for the first time through functional analysis
