Regulation of the tet promoter on pBR322????

[PRAMATHESH PATEL]

Hi:
    I have constructed a home made vector for a specific use.  The vector
made vector which is essentially like the pUC vectors except that I have
replaced the lac promoter with the tet promoter from pBR322.
    The questions I have are:

1) Is the tet promoter of pBR regulated by a tet repressor??

2) If I "express" the tet repressor in the same cell will I be able to get
a "regulateble" induction of tet promoter with chloro-tetracycline

3)  Does anybody know where I could get the tet repressor gene.

Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Prem
