Remarks:
pDC-EMCV exhibited enhancement of the beta-Gal/neo ratio in the presence of protease P2A, indicating that the
two cistrons were not equally affected by expression of the poliovirus protease and that the EMCV segment was
able to direct cap-independent translation initiation in a bicistronic context (see Fig. 9B).
