Abstract

A vehicle has been constructed where the human insulin gene is under control of the regulatory region of hspJO Dr. melanogaster gene. The expression of this gene in human fibroblasts under the effect of heat shock has been studied. It is shown that four-fold increase in the expression of the human insulin gene is observed in response to heat shock.
