Zusammenfassung: | Autologous promoters are used to effect expression of gene products in pertussis strains. Hybrid pertussis genes are constructed comprising a structural pertussis gene fused at an ATG codon to a native but autologous pertussis promoter. B. pertussis, transformed by the hybrid gene by insertion into the chromosome of the organism by homologous recombination at specific loci, effects expression of the antigenic protein for which the structural gene codes at a production rate different from that achieved for the homologous gene. Specific strains and plasmids are descibed. The technique is applicable to a wide variety of gene products and organisms. |
