Abstract
Expression vector adapted for expression of cloned genes in an animal cell comprising a steroid responsive promoter, the promoter consisting essentially of a plurality of glucocorticoid response elements (GREs), a TATA box, and an initiator element containing a transcriptional initiator site located from 20 to 50 bases from the TATA box, the promoter lacking upstream elements which bind nuclear factor I, and the vector further comprising a restriction endonuclease site downstream from the promoter for insertion of DNA to be expressed from the promoter, wherein the DNA is expressed from the vector in an animal cell.
