ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a Myogenic vector system (MVS) for the expression of a nucleic acid sequence in myogenic tissue. The MVS contains a promoter, a cassette with the sequence of interest, a 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) and contiguous noncoding region (NCR). Further enhancements can include the addition of a leader sequence, intron sequence, initiation codon and specific
