Summary for Patent: 5,959,094
Title: p75 TNF receptor promoters
Abstract:The present invention is an isolated DNA molecule comprising a promoter of the human p75 TNF-R gene having a sequence consisting of a 5\' upstream promoter sequence contained within an approximately 2.0 kbp NcoI fragment of a genomic clone of human p75 TNF-R, or an intron promoter sequence located in the first intron between the first and second exons and contained within an approximately 1.9 kbp SmaI fragment of a genomic clone of human p75 TNF-R. A composition comprising the DNA molecule and a carrier is also described.

Application Number:08/737,371
Patent Claims:1. An isolated and purified DNA molecule, comprising a promoter of the human p75 TNF-R gene having a sequence which is selected from the group consisting of a 5' upstream promoter sequence, contained within an approximately 2.0 Kbp NcoI fragment of a genomic clone of human p75 TNF-R, said fragment being located 5' upstream of the first exon and having a sequence comprising at least the sequence extending between nucleotides 1335 and 1527 of SEQ ID NO:1, and an intron promoter sequence located in the first intron between the first and second exons and contained within an approximately 1.9 Kbp SmaI fragment of a genomic clone of human p75 TNF-R, wherein said intron promoter sequence comprises at least the sequence extending between nucleotides 1569 and 1768 of SEQ ID NO:3.

2. The DNA molecule according to claim 1, wherein said intron promoter sequence comprises at least the sequence extending between nucleotides 1569 and 1827 of SEQ ID NO:3.

3. An isolated and purified DNA molecule containing a transcription inhibitory region that is located within the sequence of a 1.9 Kbp SmaI fragment of a genomic clone of human p75 TNF-R and upstream of an intron promoter sequence located in the first intron between the first and second exons, wherein said transcription inhibitory region has a sequence comprising the sequence extending between nucleotides 1 and 1569 of SEQ ID NO:3.

4. A composition, comprising the DNA molecule according to claim 3 and a carrier.
