p.s. I was also under the impression that the promoter and the gene were being delivered seperately, but I may be messed up on my jargon alltogether--three pieces right, the gene, the activation domain (promoter, which is inserted at a different time) and the dimerizer drug.
Honesty, the Materials and Methods section of PNAS pp8657 goes right over my head. In fact the only things I recognized were FKBP12 and NF-kB (well I know easy terms, cDNA, CMV, BALB/c) but the rest of it is Greek to me.
Say, speaking of the Greeks, is Ariad named for Ariadne? I posted some nonsense over on Yahoo to try and draw somebody out on that, but never got a reply. Anyone? |
