Abstract

A bidirectional expression vector containing both the 11KD late promoter (p11) and the presumptive 25KD early promoter (p25) was constructed. These bidirectional vectors have been applied to the expression of hepatitis B surface antigen by using one of the promoters for beta-galactosidase as the marker gene and the other one for hepatitis B surface antigen as the target gene.
