A replicon for delivery of a transgene for episomal gene expression in a mammalian host cell includes a transgene having an open reading frame or other nucleic acid sequence for transcription into RNA and under the transcriptional control of a first surrogate promoter and a first gene sequence expressing a papillomavirus replication initiator protein E1 tinder tile control of a second surrogate promoter. The replicon also includes second gene sequence expressing the papillomavirus replication origin binding protein E2 under the control of a third surrogate promoter, wherein tile transgene, the first and the second sequences are incorporated within at least one plasmid and less than three plasmids.
