Insertion of core CpG island element into human CMV promoter for enhancing recombinant protein expression stability in CHO cells by Mariati, Yeo, Jessna H. M., Koh, Esther Y. C., Ho, Steven C. L., Yang, Yuansheng

“…The core CpG island element (IE) from the hamster adenine phosphoribosyltransferase gene has been shown to prevent DNA methylation. A set of modified hCMV promoters was developed by inserting one or two copies of IE in either forward or reverse orientations either upstream of the hCMV enhancer, between the enhancer and core promoter (CP), or downstream of the CP. …”
