Homologous recombination in insect cells (FlashBac, Pharmingen, tri-ex) Homologous Recombinaison in E.Coli (Bacmids)
Multi gene baculovirus transfer vectors co-expression vectors pAcAB3 derivatives pFastBac Dual derivatives • - Recombination in E. coli or in insect cells • Use of small tags inserted by PCR • orientrations of the promoters (Berger, 2004)
Concatenation of expression units (restriction/ligation) Concatenation of vectors (Cre/Lox in vitro recombination) • Usual NdeI – BamHI sites, or Gateway, for gene cloning whatever the vector. - Choice of the promoter independent of cloning sites. - Choice of the gene ordering. - Possibility to concatenate using either a unique or both promoters.
MultiBac: a new engeniered bacmid • Derived from the DH10Bac bacmid • ChiA gene deleted • - Possibility to integrate genes via a Tn7 and a LoxP site • In the Tn7 entry site: integration of pFastBac derivatives by Tn7 transposition • - In the LoxP site: integration of the transfer vector with the Cre recombinase
