IRESite record type:
  promoter-less_plasmid_with_putative_IRES
The name of the plasmid:
pRG(-P)IRES
Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
Promoter-less variant of pRG-HCV1 vector (IRESite ID:) was prepared by excising the VspI/NheI fragment containing the CMV IE promoter, filling-in the recessed 3'-termini by Klenow fragment of the DNA polymerase I and by subsequent re-ligation of blunt ended vector.
