Insect Baculovirus Expression System

Introduction:

CUSABIO Insect Baculovirus Expression System

Insect baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) belongs to the eukaryotic expression system, and it’s an expression system with high safety. It has a large genome, which enables the insertion of large exogenous genes, therefore has the great advantage of expressing proteins with large molecular weight. It also has the ability to achieve complete post-translational modification and efficiently express exogenous genes. The system consists of transfer vector, baculovirus vector and the host cell. The system uses one or more baculovirus super-strong promoters, and gets the recombinant virus after the exogenous target gene is inserted into the promoter. The highly efficient expression of the exogenous gene is achieved while the recombinant viruses replicate themselves in the insect cells. BEVS is widely used in virus vaccine development (such as the development of influenza virus vaccine and HPV vaccine), preparation of cell signaling proteins and cytokines, as well as kinase development, etc.


Advantages:

  • Large capacity: ability to carry large gene fragment; advantage in large protein expression
  • High safety: baculovirus has strict species specificity
  • High expression efficiency: the protein can be efficiently expressed in the late-stage infected cells
  • The post-translational modification of the expressed product is similar to that of mammalian cells, particularly the glycosylation; the protein is more likely to be bioactive
  • Baculovirus is easier to amplify and can produce recombinant proteins in large scale
  • Our unique bacmid based expression system has prominent features including low cost, large volume suspension transfection, high titer, shorten lead-time by 1-2 weeks compare to classic process cycle
  • As low as $980/1mg, delivery time as short as 7 weeks, yield up to 100 mg/L

Case 1
The protein was highly expressed in our company's Insect baculovirus expression vector system. A clear band was observed from cell lysate by SDS-PAGE. The yield was up to 20 mg/L after purification.

Insect Baculovirus Expression System case 01
  • Protein purification image
  • Lane 1: Flow through.
  • Lane 2: Cell lysate
  • Lane 3: Marker
  • Lane 4: 30 mM imidazole elution
  • Lane 5: 60 mM imidazole elution
  • Lane 6: 250 mM imidazole elution

Case 2
This target protein is relatively large. After gene synthesis, vector construction, bacmid construction, we finally produced the protein in sf9 cells. The yield reached to 5 mg/L, and the purity was 95%.

Insect Baculovirus Expression System case 02
  • Protein purification image
  • Lane 1:60 mM imidazole elution

Case 3
The molecular weight of this target protein is relatively small, and it is quite difficult to express. We chose to use the pFastBac1-MBP vector to make the recombinant construct. After enzyme digestion and secondary purification, the purity of target protein reached 95%.

Insect Baculovirus Expression System case 03
  • Protein purification image
  • Lane 1: Fusion protein before digestion
  • Lane 2: Fusion protein after digestion
  • Lane 3: Fusion protein after secondary purification

Characteristic expression systems

pFastbac1-KHM vector + sf9 cells, highly efficient expression system

pFastbac1-KHM vector
  • 1.

    Seamless cloning, no restriction enzyme needed.

  • 2.

    Compared with conventional 6xHis tag, the N-terminal 10xHis tag has a stronger binding ability in IMAC. The thrombin site makes it easy to remove the tag.

  • 3.

    The C-terminal MYC-tag can be used for WB detection, and it has stronger sensitivity compared to His-tag.

  • 4.

    Amp resistance screening.

pFastBac1-MBP vector+sf9 cell, highly efficient expression system

pFastBac1-MBP vector
  • 1.

    This vector contains MBP fusion tag that has a strong ability to promote expression.

  • 2.

    It is a better system for small protein expression.

  • 3.

    Seamless cloning, no restriction enzyme needed.

  • 4.

    The TEV cleavage site makes it easy for tag removal.

  • 5.

    Amp resistance screening.

    Tag Removal Service

    If customer needs to remove the tag, please remark with tag removal service, otherwise, we won't remove the tag.

    There are extra charges for tag removal service. The cost will be list in the quotation.

    Not all protein tags can be removed as some proteins will be very unstable after tag removal.

    If we fail in removing the tag, we won’t charge for any extra cost, and remark this information in COA as follows “Note: The laboratory determined that the Tag on your protein could not be removed with standard laboratory procedures. Your protein is being supplied with the Tag intact.”

    Generally, the delivery time will be extended for 2-3 days.
