Insect cells and baculovirus expression has been a powerful protein expression system for intracellular protein production. It also works very well for some viral proteins that may pose negative effects on mammalian cells. Insect cells can grow to very high cell density and can achieve very high protein yield after infected with baculovirus containing the target gene of interest.
KMD Bioscience has extensive experiences in producing large quantities of recombinant proteins with insect expression system. We are particularly good at purifying intracellular proteins from insect cells. In the past couple of years, we have successfully produced about 1000 recombinant proteins using our own insect expression systems. Many of these proteins are difficult-to-express proteins, including many kinase proteins, viral proteins, and some cytokines and growth factor proteins.
KMD Bioscience can provide the following insect host cell lines:

Applications |
|
Sf9 |
Sf9 cells are derived from the IPLBSF-21 cell line. |
Transfection, purification, production of high titer viruses, plating and expression of recombinant proteins. Sf21 cells are superior to Sf9 cells in some structural expression. |
|
Sf21 |
Sf21 is a late embryonic cell of drosophila. Most of them are female tetraploid cells and some are diploid cells. |
More suitable for recombinant expression of viral structural proteins. |
|
Hi5 |
Hi5 is a late embryonic cell of drosophila. Most of them are female tetraploid cells and some are diploid cells. |
More suitable for recombinant expression of viral structural proteins. |
|
S2 |
S2 is a late embryonic cell of drosophila. Most of them are female tetraploid cells and some are diploid cells. |
More suitable for recombinant expression of viral structural proteins. |
