Remarks:
The plasmid sequence was published through BCCM/LMBP database which keeps also the plasmid DNA at
http://bccm.belspo.be/db/lmbp_plasmid_details.php?NM=pIRES-lacZ . However, there is no reference
to original publication nor to author of the vector and the plasmid was NOT sequenced! BCCM mostly
does only restriction analysis to confirm the plasmid DNA.

The sequence of the plasmid stored in IRESite is a reverse-complemented sequence of the BCCM sequence.
In addition we have annotated the T3 transcription start site based on Imburgio et al. (2000)
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bi000365w .

A derivative of this plasmid named pIRES-LUC has firefly luciferase (Promega's) instead of lacZ:
