Just to explain to people who've never had to do co-expression - if I remember correctly, conventional wisdom states that you can't have two different vectors with the same origin of replication in the same host (maybe someone might know more details as to why). However, as pointed out, it can be made to work.
Alas, not in my case!

The only reason I'm suggesting this is that I had trouble with pET-Duet, but doing each one separately worked first time (plasmid size issue?). I used pET24-a and pCDF-1b - so I had one construct untagged, and the other with a cleavable His-tag.
