The phrase "a shuttle vector" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts, particularly in molecular biology, to refer to a type of plasmid used to clone DNA fragments.
Example: "Researchers utilized a shuttle vector to facilitate the transfer of genetic material between different host organisms."
Alternatives: "a cloning vector" or "a plasmid vector".
The phytase gene was inserted into pFPMTMFα as an expression and also as a shuttle vector.
For this, ldhL from Lactobacillus plantarum was cloned and introduced into L. citreum using a shuttle vector pLeuCM.

An Ad shuttle vector suitable for modification of the C-terminus of the fiber-fibritin protein was designed by subcloning an AgeI-MfeI-fragment of the previously constructed pXK.FF.LL plasmid [12] into the pKan3.1 shuttle vector.
An Ad shuttle vector suitable for modification of the C-terminus of the fiber protein was designed by subcloning an AgeI-MfeI-fragment of the previously described pBS.F5LLBamHI plasmid [41] into the pKan3.1 shuttle vector.
The fusion genes were then ligated between the PmeI and BamHI sites in the Ad shuttle vector pAdenoVator-CMV5 (Q-Biogene) and homogonously recombined into a Ad5 genome pAdenoVatorΔE1/ΔE3 contained in a bacterial plasmid.
After sequence confirmation, the ATF-BPTI cDNA was cloned into the recombinant adenovirus (Ad) shuttle vector Adapt.
Recombinant fiber genes were assembled in various Ad shuttle vectors and then transferred to the pVSII fiber expression plasmid as described above and previously [17].
