Abstract

The invention provides a method for the expression of recombinant molecules in bacterial hosts in a defined medium in the absence of antibiotic selection. The method uses an expression vector comprising a regulatable promoter by which the production of foreign proteins may be controlled during the growth phase of the culture, an origin of replication maintaining medium vector copy number and a transcriptional terminator.
