Remarks:
This plasmid was used as the positive control for experiments in article Translation efficiencies of the 5'
untranslated region from representatives of the six major genotypes of hepatitis C virus using a novel
bicistronic reporter assay system (Collier et al., 1998; PMID:9780040).

This item is labeled as 3'UTR incomplete because the mRNA sequence deposited here ends at the stop codon of
the second cistron.
