Remarks:
Mono- and bicistronic (capped and uncapped) T7 transcripts were tested in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. Also
transiently transfected cells were used to show IRES activity. The intercistronic region contained impaired
EMCV IRES followed by the tested HIV-1 fragment. The impaired EMCV IRES should inhibit the potential ribosome
read-through.

With further deletions of the HIV-1 UTR, region 243-336 has very low IRES activity in in vitro
bicistronic assay using capped/uncapped mRNAs. Highest IRES activity was observed with 1-336 region.
