Example 7
The Spodoptera frugiperda Sf21 or SP cell lines were cultured in 6-well tissue culture plates (1×106 cells/well) in TNM-FH insect medium (Pan Biotech™, Germany) containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Pan Biotech™, Germany) at 27° C. AcMNPV recombinant baculoviruses were obtained by the “Bac-to-Bac” Baculovirus Expression System (Invitrogen™, USA). The different TB(+) transfer vectors containing the recombinant DNA regulatory elements were generated using the pFastBac™-DUAL plasmid (Invitrogen™). These transfer vectors were used to transfect Sf21 cells with Cellfectin® (Invitrogen™, USA). The resulting recombinant baculoviruses from the infection of Sf21 cells were then passaged twice in cells and titered by the plaque assay method. The obtained gene constructs of the TB (+) baculovirus expression cassettes are schematically shown in
