Baculovirus Stock and Insect Cell Pellet Service
|
The inconsistence of batch-to-batch virus titer is a common issue in protein expression using baculovirus-insect cell system, often resulting in a 1-2 week process of virus infectivity restoration. GenScript baculovirus stock and insect cell pellet preparation service offers the solutions to the problem, providing tittered, highly infectious and ready-to-use virus stocks with detailed storage protocols, and infected pellets SF-9, SF-21, and High-5 cells for immediate protein purification.
Our services are divided into a series of steps that can be performed either individually or in combination, including the entire protein expression process, from gene synthesis, cloning into baculovirus transfer vector, to recombinant baculovirus construction, high titer recombinant baculovirus production, and infected cell pellet preparation.
