Abstract

The present invention is related to vectors and methods for increasing the expression of a desired gene product. Preferably this invention is used with genes expressing proteins that are not well tolerated by mammalian cells or where high levels of expression are necessary. In certain preferred embodiments it can be used as part of a multi-tiered expression system and with methods of intracellularly targeting a molecule.
