A means of controlling the level and timing of expression of specific genes in cultured cells or in animals would have broad applications. There has been recent progress in two very promising systems: problems due to the high background expression from tetracycline-responsive promoters have been sol

Of the wide variety of regulatory systems that have been developed to control gene expression in higher eukaryotes, those utilizing elements from prokaryotic systems presently achieve the highest specificity. In particular, systems based on the repressor/operator elements of an Escherichia coil tetr
Chemical regulation of transgene expression presents a powerful tool for basic research in plant biology and biotechnological applications. Various chemical-inducible systems based on de-repression, activation and inactivation of the target gene have been described. The utility of inducible promoter
Chemical-inducible expression systems, or "gene switchesΓ, provide an opportunity for the temporal, spatial and quantitative control of genetically engineered traits. This review describes molecular and chemical aspects of several gene switches which have appeared in the literature and a novel unpub
