this paper reviews recent strategies used for increasing specific yield and productivity in high cell density cultures. high cell density cultures offer an efficient means for the economical production of recombinant proteins. however, there are still some challenges associated with high cell density cultivation (hcdc) techniques. a variety of strategies in several aspects including host design...

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...

objective(s) lipocalin 2 (lcn2) is a 25-kda glycoprotein that has initially been extracted from neutrophil granules. expression of lcn2 is induced under various pathophysiological conditions. it is also known as an early marker of kidney and heart injury. high-level expression of recombinant lcn2 neutrophil gelatinase-associated(ngal) in insect cells was the aim of this study. materials and met...

In this study, 6 lepidopteran cell lines derived from Trichoplusia ni (Tn5), Lymantria dispar (LdElta), Bombyx mori (Bm-5), Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf21), Spodoptera exigua (Se-1), and Choristoneura fumiferana (Cf-124T) were investigated for susceptibility to Malacosoma neustria nucleopolyhedrovirus (ManeNPV) isolated in Turkey. Infection of Malacosoma disstria (Md203) cell line by ManeNPV was u...

Cholesterol has been shown to be essential for the fusion of alphaviruses with artificial membranes (liposomes). Cholesterol has also been implicated as playing an essential and critical role in the processes of entry and egress of alphaviruses in living cells. Paradoxically, insects, the alternate host for alphaviruses, are cholesterol auxotrophs and contain very low levels of this sterol. To ...

The baculovirus expression system has become established as a popular method for obtaining high levels of recombinant protein synthesis in a eukaryotic environment (5). In a number of cases, however, researchers have reported decreased product quality and yield resulting from proteolytic activity late in the course of infection (2,3,8,12). The enzyme most likely to cause this degradation is V-C...
