International Classification:

C12N 506

US Classification:

435348, 435948

Abstract:

Three new insect cell lines have been established and characterized. The cloned cell lines are derived from IPLB-Sf-21AE and can grow in serum-free medium. When infected with baculovirus, the cell lines of the invention produce large quantities of baculovirus. Infection with recombinant baculovirus yields large quantities of expressed functional protein. In particular, cell lines deposited in ATCC as PTA-22O7, PTA-2206 and PTA-2205.
