The kanamycin resistant pUC vectors pHSG298 and pHSG299 contain the kanamycin resistance gene, the pMB1-derived origin of replication (ori), and the beta-galactosidase coding gene lacZ. These kanamycin resistant pUC vectors also contain a pUC19-derived multiple cloning site (MCS) within the lacZ gene, enabling recombinant clones to be verified through culture plates containing IPTG and X-Gal. High target gene expression is enabled by the presence of the lac promoter in both the pHSG298 and pHSG299 vectors ...
