The mRNA/+RNA description: 
In vitro T3 run-off transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid pRMiL-p(A) which comprises renilla and
firefly luciferases as the first and the second cistron, respectively and the 5' UTR of human c-myc (nt from
-407 to -2; c-myc region from nt 47 to nt 352 was cloned in inverted orientation) mRNA transcribed from major
P2 promoter. These mRNAs are bearing a poly(A) tail.

IRESite notes about verification of plasmid sequence:
The complete sequence of IRES element was determined by sequencing using Fluc_seq_reverse
(AGGAACCAGGGCGTATCTC) primer.

For detailed verification of whole plasmid sequence see item IRESite Id: 413.

The plasmid was used as the negative control for experiments in article Enhancement of IRES- Mediated
Translation of the c-myc and BiP mRNAs by the Poly(A) Tail Is Independent of Intact eIF4G and PABP (Thoma et
al., 2004; PMID: 15383282).
