      The mode of in vivo processing of human preprorelaxin is not yet fully understood and has to be deduced by analogy to the processing of porcine and rat preprorelaxins.

      Cells were transduced with an integrating lentiviral vector bicistronically expressing human preprorelaxin 2 cDNA [ 26 ] and eGFP gene, or just eGFP, under a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter.
