2. Description of the Related Art A technique for expressing a foreign gene incorporated in a vector in a cultured cell or an insect body is indispensable when producing a protein using genetic engineering. However, in many cases, a required amount of expressed protein cannot be obtained depending on the integrated gene. In USP 4,937,190, a vertebrate RNA virus, encephalomyocardit
The nucleotide sequence that promotes translation activity is described in the untranslated region on the 5 'side of the genome of is virus (EMCV). However, since EMCV synthesizes a non-structural protein and a capsid protein, which need to be synthesized only in small amounts in a cell, as a single polyprotein, sufficient translation promoting activity cannot be obtained. Furthermore, since EMCV uses a vertebrate as a host, it hardly functions in an insect cell which is a host cell of a baculovirus expression system which has been widely used in recent years as a foreign gene expression method, and thus has a practical problem (Polkinghorne, I ., and Roy, P. (1995) Nucleic Aci
