CREATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTERNAL RIBOSOME ENTRY SITE (IRES) ELEMENTS

摘要

A method of creating a nucleic acid sequence having an adenine-rich nucleic acid block of at least 25 nucleotides in length is provided, whereby said nucleic acid sequence is capable of causing translation by internal ribosome entry (IRES element). Said adenine-rich nucleic acid block comprises from 40 to 100 mol-% adenine.
