The baculovirus-insect cell system consists of a recombinant baculovirus vector and its host, which may be a lepidopteran insect larvae or an established lepidopteran insect cell line. Hundreds of different recombinant proteins have been produced using the baculovirus-insect cell system, facilitating biomedical research on protein structure, function, and the roles of various proteins in disease. In addition, many biotechnology companies are using this system to produce recombinant proteins for potential clinical use as vaccines, therapeutics, or diagnostic reagents…
