A system is described which utilizes a novel system of repressor titration for maintenance of a plasmid useful in gene therapy and production of a recombinant protein. The system utilizes a transformed host cell containing a plasmid including an operator susceptible to binding by a repressor expressed in trans, a first chromosomal gene encoding the repressor, and a second chromosomal gene that is functionally associated with an operator and essential for cell growth, wherein the plasmid is present in the cell in sufficient numbers to titrate the repressor such that the essential gene is expressed, thereby permitting cell growth.

Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé qui utilise un nouveau système de titrage d'un répresseur en vue de la stabilisation d'un plasmide utile en thérapie génique et de la production d'une protéine recombinante. Ledit système utilise une cellule hôte transformée qui contient un plasmide comprenant un opérateur susceptible de se lier à un répresseur exprimé en trans, un premier gène chromosomique codant le répresseur, et un second gène chromosomique qui est associé fonctionnellement à un opérateur et est indispensable à la croissance de la cellule, le plasmide étant présent dans la cellule en nombre suffisant pour titrer le répresseur de telle sorte que le gène essentiel soit exprimé, ce qui rend possible la croissance de la cellule.
