Title:
BACTERIAL EXPRESSION SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002038739
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An inducible expression system is provided that includes an inducible ansB promoter co-dependently regulatable by cyclic AMP and anaerobiosis. The expression system is particularlysuited to chromosomal expression of immunogenic proteins in attenuated bacterial vaccines.Protein expression from an E. coli-derived ansB promoter is particularly effective in aSalmonella host bacterium.
