Overview
We are utilizing the pOSIP plasmid to chromosomally integrate transformed genes into NEB 10 Beta cells and then remove antibiotic resistance genes to prevent horizontal gene transfer of LLO or any antibiotic resistance genes. We are also developing a pH-based gene switch to create a secondary safety mechanism so that LLO is only translated under acidic conditions and translation is repressed by neutral and basic conditions.
