In my work , the gene of cells or virus protein are always cloned and inserted into mammalian expression vector  pCDNA3.1  p3xFLAG-CMV  or others, Unfortunately, many protein can not be detected by Specific antibody and tag antibody with western blot method,but these proteins have been confirmed exist in cells or can be detected when infected with virus,and it does not work when the vector was changed to another. In my opinion , the fact is that the protein is not expressed when its gene was inserted into my vectors,and I want to know how this happened? the Promoter is not strong enough or other reasons?
