pFB-ERV: Retroviral Delivery of the Ecdysone Receptor Proteins

...egratedinducible vectors. This is due to the tight repression that occurs forchromosomally integrated ecdysone-responsive promoters, compared with therelatively high background normally seen in transient transfection assays inwhich the reporter is free in the nucleus. The stable cell line ER-CHO, whichwas made ...

...That's much more effective for social control than repression of such tendencies and their social expressions. We may find it desirable to build larger percentages of people amenable to such manipulation. That practice would simply extend what we call "education" onto the practical level of biomechanics.
