Abstract
Stable cell lines are produced to express high levels of a gene product of interest using VP16, a herpes simplex virus transactivator, and a promoter from herpes simplex virus which is a target for VP16. The transactivator and promoter are introduced to a cell line separately using antibiotic resistance genes as selectable markers on separate vectors.
