Summary for Patent: 5,168,062

Title:	Transfer vectors and microorganisms containing human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter-regulatory DNA sequence
Abstract:	The cloning of a eucaryotic promoter-regulatory region that functions preferentially in human cells is disclosed. The invention is exemplified by the cloning of a section of the human cytomegalovirus genome comprising a DNA sequence with regulatory and promoter signals and an initiation site for RNA synthesis. The fragment, termed the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) promoter-regulatory sequence, was obtained from purified HCMV DNA.
Inventor(s):	Stinski; Mark F. (Iowa City, IA)
Assignee:	University of Iowa Research Foundation (Oakdale, IA)
Application Number:	07/582,130
Patent Claims:	1. A recombinant DNA plasmid comprising DNA sequence isolated from the immediate-early, promoter-regulatory region of human cytomegalovirus and a heterologous gene positioned downstream and operatively linked to said sequence. 2. A recombinant DNA plasmid containing a DNA sequence consisting essentially of: ##STR1## and a heterologous gene positioned downstream and operatively linked to said sequence. 3. An isolated DNA sequence consisting essentially of the immediate-early, promoter-regulatory region of human cytomegalovirus, wherein said sequence comprises repeat sequences of 19, 28, 16 and 21 base pairs in length. 4. A eucaryotic host cell transformed with a recombinant DNA plasmid comprising a DNA sequence isolated from the immediate-early, promoter-regulatory region of human cytomegalovirus and a heterologous gene positioned downstream and operatively linked to said sequence. 5. The transformed eucaryotic host cell of claim 4 wherein said host cell is a mammalian host cell. 6. A plasmid pIEPR12. 7. A microorganism transformed with the plasmid pIEPR12. 8. E. coli RecBC.sup.- pIEPR12.
