- 1984, P Hudson, “Relaxin gene expression in human ovaries and the predicted structure of a human preprorelaxin by analysis of cDNA clones”, in The EMBO Journal, volume 3, number 10, page 2333:
- 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.
