    AnnotationThe efficient and reversible control of transgene expression is a powerful tool for correct manipulation of embryonic stem cells in both cell therapy and transgenesis. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibilities of recently developed reverse tetracycline controlled transactivator rtTA2-S2. It was shown that the rtTA2s-S2 is useful for transient inducible expression of genes stem ceels. However, it was not possible to establish mouse embryonic stem cell lines stably expressing this transactivator. Using the viral IRES sequence which ncouples the expression of rtTA2s-S2 and neomycin phosphotransferase, was found that embryonic stem cells expressing rtTA2s-S2 are not capable of growing in the presence of G418. These results indicate that this transactivator is toxic to ES cells and raise the need for the development of other strategies for stable and inducible expression of genes in ES cells
