I've few queries regarding bacterial and mammalian plasmids for expression of Gene of Interest. What plasmid elements/components that are differ between bacterial and mammalian Plasmids to express a gene of Interest.

According to me :

The elements/components that are common between bacterial and mammalian Plasmids are :

  • Bacterial ori of replication.
  • Bacterial selection marker.
  • Promotor + gene of Interest for Expression of Gene.
  • The elements/components that are differ between bacterial and mammalian Plasmids are:

  • Mammalian Ori such as  EBV or SV40 if the Transfected cells expressing the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) or the SV40 large-T antigen for Episomal replication of Transfected plasmid.
  • Mammalian selection marker (For positive selection of cells that take up plasmid).
  • Promotor + gene of Interest for Expression of Gene + PolyA (example SV40 pA or CMV pA)
  • Reporter Gene.
  • I'd like to know is there any other differences?

    Thank You.
