Insect Cell Protein Expression and Purification

Insect cell expression system is widely-used eukaryotic expression system that can express a variety of exogenous genes including fungi, plants, bacteria, virus genes. Baculovirus is a type of double-stranded DNA that make insect cells as the natural host. Baculovirus is highly species-specific, and do not infect vertebrate, human, animal. More current research are about Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis (AcNPV), which host Spodoptera frugiperda. sf9 cells, one of the host cell for baculovirus expression system. sf9 cells, kind of semi-adherent cell line, can be suspension culture or adherent culture with many many advantages。

1、 compared with other eukaryotic expression systems, it has high exogenous gene expression level, especially intracellular proteins. In cases,recombinant protein is soluble, correctly folding have posttranslational modifications (such as glycosylation, etc.), biologically activity, easy separation and purification;
2、insect cells grown in suspension, which is easy for scaled-up cultures and large-scale expression of recombinant protein;
3、it is easy to express heterologous multimeric proteins. Insect cells can be infected through a variety of recombinant virus or can be implemented with a virus containing a plurality of expression cassettes;
4、security. Baculovirus infection do not include vertebrates.

Chinapeptides provides baculovirus expression vector, expression detecting and mass expression and purification of protein and other one-stop technical services.
