ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides novel myeloid cell specific promoters, and cis-acting elements that influence the activity of a myeloid cell specific promoters, as well as promoter-heterologous gene constructs and transfected myeloid cells which include the novel promoters and/or the novel cis-acting elements. The present invention also provides a method of transfecting myeloid cells and a method of producing a selected product within the transfected cells. The invention also includes a method for identifying factors that can regulate myeloid cell specific transcription.
