Development of recombinant baculoviruses for insect control.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review, we provide an overview of the current status of recombinant baculoviruses, describe the development of genetically engineered baculoviruses for use as rapid-action biological insecticides, and provide more detailed information on one particular set of recombinant viruses. The advantages and disadvantages of recombinant baculovirus insecticides, and the importance of risk-assessment studies of these genetically modified organisms, are reviewed. Finally the importance of sensible regulatory strategies to the success and future prospects of this technology is discussed.

Construction of a Recombinant Bacmid DNA to Express Influenza Virus Matrix Protein1 (M1) in Insect Cell Line
Background and Aims: Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been suggested to be a promising recombinant vaccine approach. Several studies have reported that the influenza VLPs produced in insect cells is an effective vaccine candidate. Due to crucial role of matrix M1 protein in assembly and budding of Influenza particles, in all VLPs structures, M1 protein have been considered as a main component. ...
متن کاملRecombinant baculoviruses for insect control.
Baculoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses which are highly selective for several insect groups. They are valuable natural control agents, but their utility in many agricultural applications has been limited by their slow speed of kill and narrow host specificity. Baculoviruses have been genetically modified to express foreign genes under powerful promoters in order to accelerate their speed...
متن کاملBaculoviral Expression of Influenza A Virus (H1N1 New Caledonia) Neuraminidase in Insect Cells
Background and Aims: Each year, the influenza virus causes moderate to severe infections with a high prevalence throughout the world. Accordingly, an influenza vaccine that ensures protection with only a single dose would be a much more cost effective approach to influenza prophylaxis. Generation of Influenza non-replicating virus-like particles (VLP) in baculoviral expression system is an attr...
متن کاملConstruction of Recombinant Bacmid DNA Encoding Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Fusion Protein Gene
Background and Aims: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. Vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. F gene open reading frame (ORF) from NDV is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. The F glycoprotein on the surf...
متن کاملExpression of the bovine coronavirus spike glycoprotein subunits in insect cells using recombinant baculoviruses
In the present study, the bovine coronavirus (BCV) spike glycoprotein cleavage products (S1 and S2) were individually expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells, using a baculovirus expression system. The coding sequence of S1 and S2 gene fragments were amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the baculovirus shuttle vector pBlueBac4.5/V5-His TOPO ® TA. The cloned fragments were inserted ...
