Recombinant Expression of the Non-glycosylated Extracellular Domain of Human Transforming Growth Factorβ Type II Receptor Using the Baculovirus Expression System in Sf21 Insect Cells

Cloning and Expression of Simian Rotavirus Spike Protein (VP4) in Insect Cells by Baculovirus Expression System

Background: VP4 protein is as spikes on rotavirus outer capsid shell which is responsible for virus attachment to the host. VP4 induces production of neutralizing antibodies which could be used for serotyping of different isolates. Methods: Simian rotavirus SA11 gene 4 cDNA was cloned into a cloning plasmid pDONRTM by recombination reaction using clonase II enzyme mix. The resulting clone was c...

Expression of Recombinant Phosphodiesterase 3A and 3B Using Baculovirus Expression System

Background: Phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) play a critical role in the regulation of intracellular level of adenosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP, cAMP) and guanosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP, cGMP). Subsequently PDE3 inhibitors have shown to relax vascular and inhibit platelet aggregation in cardiovascular disease. Objectives: In th...

Functional human transcobalamin II isoproteins are secreted by insect cells using the baculovirus expression system.

Transcobalamin II (TCII) is a cobalamin (Cbl, vitamin B12)-binding protein in mammalian plasma that facilitates the cellular uptake of the vitamin. To obtain human TCII in sufficient quantity for analytical studies, the complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding TCII was inserted into the plasmid PVL 1393, and the baculovirus expressing TCII was obtained by homologous recombination in Spodoptera frugipe...

Expression of Biologically Active Recombinant B-Domain-Deleted Human Factor VIII in Mammalian Cells

Expression of the human retinoblastoma gene product pp110RB in insect cells using the baculovirus system.

The product of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB) was overproduced in cultured insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. Upon insertion of the cloned human RB complementary DNA sequence into the viral genome downstream of the promoter of the polyhedrin gene, full-length RB protein with an apparent molecular weight of 110,000 was expressed in the insect cells. This protein w...
