Recombinant protein expression using a baculovirus-insect cell system

Written by Sino Biological

Recombinant proteins are fundamental to the study and development of biologics. A baculovirus-insect cell system is an excellent choice for the expression of complicated intracellular and viral proteins because of their robust protein folding capability and relatively high culture density. To obtain fully functional recombinant proteins, a systematic design is required for each step from construct design and culture optimization to protein purification and formulation.

Insect cells are versatile expression hosts for a range of recombinant proteins. They are a superior choice as an expression host because they enable correct protein folding and posttranslational modification, and are suitable for high-density cell culture. They can produce both secreted and intracellular proteins of various species. A systematic design and optimization approach is essential to obtain high-quality recombinant proteins using insect cells.
