High b-galactosidase activities could easily be detected in culture supernatants of Schizophyllum commune grown on lactose and glycerol. The addition of glucose to the growth medium resulted in lower b-galactosidase activities. Two different enzymes exhibiting b-galactosidase activity were purified

## Abstract Gene therapy holds great promise for the treatment of diverse diseases. However, widespread implementation is hindered by difficulties in assessing the success of transfection in terms of spatial extent, gene expression, and longevity of expression.

Bacterial \(\beta\)-galactosidase is one of several reporter enzymes used in studying the transcriptional activity of eukaryotic promoters. Although it is one of the easiest and least expensive enzymes to assay, its use has been limited because of its low sensitivity, which is due in part to endogen

The cysteine endopeptidase legumain was recently discovered in mammalian cells, predominantly localized in the lysosomal system where it is believed to contribute to antigen processing for MHC class II. Here we describe rapid assay procedures for the enzyme in 96-well microplates with two substrates

Transcription in higher eukaryotes is often studied by the use of transient transfection assays. These experiments are performed by cloning putative cis-acting transcriptional elements (i.e., a promoter or enhancer) with a reporter gene that codes for a protein not expressed by the target cells. Alt
