Recombinant expression vectors are disclosed that include a control sequence for recombinant expression of proteins of interest; the control sequence combines a mCMV enhancer sequence with a rat EF-1alpha intron sequence. Some of the vectors are useful for tetracycline-inducible expression. Some of the vectors contain a 5' PiggyBac ITR and a 3&#x2032; PiggyBac ITR to promote genomic integration into a host cell chromosome. A method of selecting a stable production cell line for manufacturing a protein of interest is also disclosed. Also disclosed are mammalian host cells comprising the inventive recombinant expression vectors and a method of producing a protein of interest, in vitro, involving the mammalian host cell.

Expression from transposon-based vectors and uses

Inducible expression from transposon-based vectors and uses

A hybrid promoter for recombinant expression of proteins of interest is disclosed that combines a mCMV enhancer sequence with a rat EF-1alpha intron sequence. Also disclosed are an expression cassette containing the hybrid promoter and a recombinant expression vector containing the expression cassette. A mammalian host cell, which comprises the recombinant expression vector is also disclosed, as is a method of producing a protein of interest that employs the mammalian host cell, optionally involving tetracycline-inducible expression of the protein.
