Abstract

The T7 system is an orthogonal transcription-system, which is characterized by simplicity, higher efficiency, and higher processivity, and it is used for protein or mRNA synthesis in various biological-systems. In comparison with prokaryotes, the construction of the T7 expression system is still on-going in eukaryotes, but it shows greatly applicable prospects. In the present paper, development of T7 expression system construction in eukaryotes is reviewed, including its construction in animal (mammalian cells, trypanosomatid protozoa, Xenopus oocytes, zebrafish), plant, and microorganism and its application in vaccine production and gene therapy. In addition, the innate challenges of T7 expression system construction in eukaryote and its potential application in vaccine production and gene therapy are discussed.
