Abstract

Untranslated regions associated with the heat shock response can be used to obtain increased efficiency of translation of polypeptides that are not necessarily normally associated with the heat shock response. This allows the development of greatly improved expression systems. The invention is also useful, for example, in the treatment of a patient suffering from a deficiency in the expression of a polypeptide and in the provision of vaccines.
