Regulatable Vectors for Environmental Gene Expression in Alphaproteobacteria

Homogeneous tetracycline-regulatable gene expression in mammalian fibroblasts.

The expression of transfected genes in mammalian cells is rapidly repressed by epigenetic mechanisms such that, within a matter of weeks, only a fraction of the cells in most clonal populations still exhibit detectable expression. This problem can become prohibitive when one wants to express two ectopically introduced genes, as is necessary to establish cell lines that harbor genes regulated by...

Physiologically-Regulated Expression Vectors for Gene Therapy

Gene-replacement gene therapy has been under development for a number of years. In spite of the large amount of research invested into developing gene therapy for the treatment of recessive genetic disorders only a limited number of patients world-wide have received the benefits. In addition, several high profile adverse events in gene therapy trials have lead to an increasing awareness of the ...

Integrating Vectors for Heterologous Gene Expression

A novel shuttle integration cosmid vector (pTOYAMAcos), based on pKU402, and shuttle integration vectors (pTYM18 and pTYM19) were constructed for the cloning of actinomycete DNA and its heterologous expression. These vectors contain oriT of an IncP transmissible plasmid in order to transfer genes by conjugation from Escherichia coli to actinomycetes, and they also contain int derived from actin...
