We intended to test three different plasmids: a low copy number plasmid (pSB4A5), a high copy number plasmid (pSB1C3) and a commercial high copy number plasmid (pET15b). The comparison of these three plasmids will identify the best system for the developing of this technology.

Since the Cre expression levels are critical for the system performance, we created two different version for each of the three plasmids, A (Cre-Lox71) and B (Lox71-Cre). We want to test if inserting the target gene either upstream or downstream the Cre gene will affect the expression efficiency.
