baculovirus expression systems

Heya, I am considering making a baculovirus for protein expression. I haven't found anybody local who has any recent experience doing this. So I went online and did some browsing. Of course, all the companies' websites say how easy and fantastic ...

Why is bacteria good?

... production. Just bear in mind that also eukaryotic cells can be used in similar manner; yeasts are often used, as are insect cells (with e.g. baculovirus vectors) and even human cells. But this is where the benefits of bacteria can be seen: they are much more simple and cheap to grow than ...

gene cloning and amplification

... TATA box, stop codon, for E coli; enhancers sometimes for mammalian cell expression; insect-specific upstream or downstream elements for baculovirus expression etc). You may induce expression especially when using E coli, but that's not amplification of the sequence. Induction is turning ...
