Fig. 2. Beta-galactosidase (β-galactosidase)–specific activity of BVL-1–like, ELM 5 promoter shows sustained expression patterns in transfected ELM clones. / The VL30 promoters ELM 5, MEL/ELM, negative control NVL3 promoter within VLIBAG, and the positive retroviral control vector, RVBAG, were transfected into ELM-I-1 cells and monitored for β-galactosidase reporter gene activity through ONPG hydrolysis assays over a 16-week time course. β-Galactosidase reporter gene activity was monitored in cell lysates from all 4 constructs in epo-induced (10 U/mL epo) growth conditions. The transfected BVL-1–like ELM 5 vector showed sustained β-galactosidase activity and modest epo induction (*P < .05, n = 6 [error bars]) on weeks 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16.
