or pcDNA3.1e-LacZ vector (Figure 2d). Therefore, the rPGRMC1 gene encodes a protein that either binds dexamethasone or combines with COS-7 proteins to form a dexamethasone binding complex.

The transcription of eGFP is driven by the IRES so the eGFP expression will be slightly less than seen in the Ad5-CMV-eGFP vector. Ad5-CMV-Empty Ad5-Empty ... green/yellow emitting luciferases.
