Baculovirus vectors for expression in insect cells

Abstract

Recombinant baculoviruses now represent a mature technology in which vector development, particularly for the control of expression level, has reached a plateau. However, other aspects of expression, such as the production of multiple proteins, improved product purification or maximizing protein processing, remain areas for novel vector and host cell development. This year has seen these topics come to the fore in descriptions of new expression systems.
