A head-to-tail trimer of the SV40 Bcl I-Bam H1 DNA fragment, specifying polyadenylation of
RNA transcripts, was cloned as a cassette flanked by multiple restriction sites. Insertion of
the trimer into several expression vectors efficiently prevented spurious expression of
reporter genes resulting from transcriptional initiation in prokaryotic plasmid sequences in
transfected mammalian cells.
