Scope note: Genes que muestran una expresión rápida y transitoria en ausencia de síntesis proteica de novo. El término se empleó originalmente de forma exclusiva para genes víricos, y el término "inmediato temprano" se refería a la transcripción que se produce inmediatamente después de la integración vírica en la célula huésped. También se utiliza para describir genes celulares que se expresan justo después de que las células en reposo hayan sido estimuladas por señales extracelulares como los factores de crecimiento y los neurotransmisores.

Scope note: Genes that show rapid and transient expression in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral genes where immediate-early referred to transcription immediately following virus integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular genes which are expressed immediately after resting cells are stimulated by extracellular signals such as growth factors and neurotransmitters.
