(AV. Luc) or the construct with a minimal promoter (AV. SV (P) Luc) alone gave only minimal expression at 3 days after infection (Fig. 3a). However, co-infection with AV. SupEnh produced 16-fold and 35-fold increases in luciferase expression from the AV. Luc and AV. SV (P) Luc vectors, respectively. These data support our initial hypothesis that cis activation of a minimal SV40 promoter can occur by coinfection with a second AAV vector containing enhancer elements. Unexpectedly, however, there was high-level transactivation of the AV. Luc construct, which contains no heterologous promoter. These findings support earlier studies indicating that ITRs contain a cryptic promoter1. The specificity of this induction was further demonstrated by the lack of transactivation after co-administration of the negative control AV. AmpOri virus with AV. Luc or AV. SV (P) Luc vectors.To measure the efficiency of the dual-vector approach, we compared luciferase expression obtained after cis activation with that from single vectors containing different combinations of the SV40 promoter and enhancers. The level of luciferase gene expression after intermolecular concatamerization between AV. SV (P) Luc and AV. SupEnh reached 50% that of the single vector AV. SV (P/E) Luc and 10% that of the single vector AV. SV (P/SupEnh) Luc in fibroblasts (Fig. 3a).
