Abstract: The invention under consideration concerns a gene-trapping construct containing a first reporter gene which after activation can activate a second reporter gene, and the use of this gene-trapping construct for identification and isolation of genes, especially genes transiently expressed. The invention under consideration furthermore concerns a cell, preferably a mammalian cell, containing the abovementioned gene-trapping construct. The invention under consideration in addition concerns the use of this mammalian cell for identification and/or isolation of genes, particularly transient genes. Furthermore the invention concerns a vector containing the abovementioned gene-trapping construct, as well as a kit for identification and/or isolation of genes, especially transient genes, that contains at least the abovementioned gene-trapping construct or the abovementioned vector.
