The vectors , SV40-Syncat, Syncat I, Syncat II, SV40-pFlash, pFlash I and pFlash II, are as their names suggest CAT & Luciferase (Luc) reporter gene vectors. What distinguishes them from other vectors in this category is that these vectors produce near-zero background. This feature etc... etc... Not a linebreak in sight. If you're going to advertize, please take the trouble to format your posting properly (to less than 80 columns per line). Thanks ... ...
