  • Translation enhancer
    Patent number: 4937190
    Abstract: Disclosed in this patent are DNA sequences, RNA sequences, vectors, and hosts that incorporate a translation enhancer region derived from the 5' non-coding region of a cardiovirus. The enhancer acts at the RNA level (as opposed to the DNA level) to enhance production of proteins in cell free media. Proteinaceous material which is produced will not have attached to it any undesired material from the enhancer sequence. The invention is especially useful to enable efficient production of selected viral proteins of picornoviruses.
