Abstract
Provided is an expression vector having an improved ability to express a gene. Also provided are cells transformed by the expression vector and a method for mass-producing a target protein by using the cells. The expression vector contains a simian virus 40 promoter, a scaffold attachment region or matrix attachment region element, and a chimeric intron. The vector shows an improved ability to express a gene, and thus, can attain a significantly increased expression of a heterogeneous gene.
