ABSTRACT:
The survival of cells is limited by introducing into the cells a regulatably expressible gene whose expression results in the formation of a cytoplasmatically active hydrolytic enzyme. Populations of cells containing, in addition to such a regulatably expressible gene, a DNA coding for an immunologically active, pesticidally active or environmental pollutant-degrading gene product, may be useful in immunologically active compositions, pesticidally active compositions and environmental pollutant-degrading compositions, respectively.
