In vitro transcripts from this plasmid were used in Fig. 2. Otherwise pretty much useless construct showing
only that phpBCL2-FL in contrast to this plasmid is less translated because of the "php" stem loop barrier.
Fig. 4B shows that translation of capped and polyA tailed monocistronic mRNA is about 11x higher than that of
uncapped mRNA and that "php" stem loop as the barrier decreases translation down to about 8%.
