BACULOVIRUS-INDUCED INSECT PROTEIN EXPRESSION

  • codon optimization for insect cell expression and gene synthesis of DNA insert
  • mutagenesis of an existing construct
  • subcloning of a DNA insert into a selected or client-specified baculovirus expression vector
  • virus generation, amplification and cloning by limited dilution or plaque purification
  • generation of high-titer virus stocks
  • SDS-PAGE, Western, ELISA or functional expression analysis of cell lysates and conditioned media for intracellular and secreted protein products respectively
  • secreted or intracellular expression in Sf9, ExpiSF, Sf21 and HiFive insect cells
  • expression optimization studies: MOI, time course, growth media
  • large-scale insect cell culture for conditioned media or cell pellet production
  • recombinant protein purification from conditioned media or cell pellet
