ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions are provided for transgene expression in target cells. Expression constructs using an inducible amplification system to drive expression of a therapeutic gene or other gene of interest in mammalian host cells are provided, as well as methods therefor. Inducible expression of the transgenes at high levels under physiologic conditions results from induction by hyperthermic conditions relative to the basal temperature of the host cells.
