Expression of genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes in the bovine corpus luteum

Lauber ME , Waterman MR , Simpson ER

Summary. To examine the regulation of P-450scc expression at the molecular level, a transfection protocol specific for bovine luteal cell cultures was developed. Among several commonly used transfection methods, electroporation yielded highest transfection efficiencies. Transfection of primary cultures of bovine luteal cells with chimaeric DNA constructs containing increasing deletions of the 5'-flanking region of P-450scc fused to th...
