Abstract

The invention features a synthetic gene encoding a protein normally expressed in a mammalian cell or eukaryotic cell wherein at least one non-preferred or less preferred codon in the natural gene encoding the mammalian protein has been replaced by a preferred codon encoding the same amino acid.
