Abstract
The invention concerns an expressible nucleic acid construct, which contains only the sequence information necessary for expressing a gene for RNA or protein synthesis. Expression constructs of this type can be used in gene therapy and genetic vaccination and avoid many of the risks associated with constructs today. The invention further concerns the possibility of improving the conveying of the construct into cells or tissue by covalent linkage of the construct, for example to particles or peptides.
