Abstract
The invention relates to a new 'gene-switch' (cumate-inducible switch) for mammalian cells, having a mammalian promoter which has a TATA element and is linked to the coding sequence of CymR. This switch is as useful in the development of expression systems and cell-based assays for functional genomics as in the generation of viral vectors for gene therapy.
