Technology Description:
The invention relates to three new insect cell lines that when infected with baculovirus produce large quantities of baculovirus useful for insect pest control. Additionally, large quantities of baculovirus infected with recombinant baculovirus yields large quantities of expressed functional protein. Compared to presently available technology, these cloned cell lines economically produce high yields of baculovirus and large quantities of recombinant proteins, and can grow in serum free medium.
