ABSTRACT:
A vector is provided which contains a promoter construct linked to a heterologous gene encoding a selected biologically active molecule wherein the promoter construct is capable of directing urothelial expression of the heterologous gene. Methods of isolating biologically active molecules from urine of animals transfected with this vector and transgenic animals containing this vector are also provided.
