  • Publication number: 20220154223
    Abstract: Herein are reported novel DNA constructs and methods using the same. The current invention uses a deliberate arrangement of non-productive/inactive promoters and genes on coding and template strands of DNA molecules, which are converted into their active form by the interaction with a site-specific recombinase. In more detail, the DNA element according to the current invention is non-functional with respect to the expression of the contained first and second genes. By being non-functional with respect to the expression of the first and second gene, the DNA element according to the invention can be integrated into genome of a cell without the risk that the comprised structural genes are expressed already directly after the integration. The genes are only expressed once a recombinase recognizing and functional with the recombination recognition sequences of the DNA element is activated or introduced into the cell.
