Insect Baculovirus Expression System
Insect baculovirus expression is a recombinant protein production system
that uses recombinant baculoviruses carrying exogenous target genes as
vectors for expression in insects. The recombinant proteins can be fully
functional as they undergo post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, acylation, and
signal peptide cleavage. These modifications are similar to those in mammalian
cells. By using strong promoters like p10 and pH, it can reach a high expression
level, can accommodate large-size insertion fragments, and express multiple
genes simultaneously. The Biortus team has over a decade of rich experience
in protein expression, and has successfully completed more than 9000 batches
of protein expression services in total.
