Abstract
A cis-acting posttranscriptional regulatory element (PRE) useful for efficient RNA export of RNA is provided. The element, termed WPRE, is originally derived from woodchuck hepatitis virus. The invention also provides a method for enhancing the expression of transgenes by insertion of the WPRE nucleic acid sequences in operably linkage with the transgene.
