  • Publication number: 20050260585
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a recombinant eucaryote cell or organism having incorporated in its genome a genetic construct made of at least one nucleotide sequence encoding a toxic gene (TOX) under the control of an inducible promoter/operator genetic sequence and possibly a selectable marker. The present invention is also related to a production and selection method-of-genetically modified eucaryote cells or organisms having integrated into their genome foreigner (exogenous) DNA fragment(s) by using said recombinant eucaryote cells or organisms.

  • Publication number: 20040115811
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for the selection of recombinant clones having integrated a gene of interest (6) and a nucleotide sequence (3) encoding a functional antidote protein (4) to a toxic molecule (5), wherein said recombinant clones are the ones which survive following their integration into a host cell (20) comprising in its genome a nucleotide sequence (21) encoding said toxic molecule (5). The present invention is also related to a nucleic acid construct, a vector comprising said nucleic acid construct, a host cell and a cloning and/or sequencing kit for performing said method.
