TLDR The B2C promoter works in sheep cells but not in mouse embryos.
The study investigated the activity of the sheep high-sulfur keratin promoter B2C in hair follicles by cloning it into a plasmid and transfecting it into sheep fibroblasts and mouse embryos. The results showed that the B2C promoter successfully initiated GFP expression in sheep fibroblasts, but not in mouse embryos, indicating its specificity and potential utility in sheep-related genetic studies.
