Figure 1. Schematic representation of DNA constructs expressing bFGF.

Figure 1

The top diagram shows the parental vector pWK3R, with the hatched arrow representing the genetic elements responsible for bFGF expression. The four constructs: (A) pWK3R, and its three derivatives: (B) pWK3ROmpAd, (C) pWK311R, and (D) pWK311ROmpAd, together with the genetic elements forming their own hatched arrows are specified underneath. Symbols for the components shown in pWK3R and its three derivatives are: ori = origin of replication in E. coli; ampR = structural gene conferring resistance to ampicillin; ytl2-incR = ytl2-incR system for plasmid stability of Salmonella typhimurium; bfgf = bfgf gene; egf = egf gene; lacUV5 = lacUV5 promoter; lacO = lac operator; RBS = consensus ribosomal binding site; ompAL = ompA leader sequence; vma = VMA coding sequence. Arrow indicates the direction of transcription. Information in parenthesis indicates the plasmid size.
