Recombinant bacmids were then transfected into Sf9 cells (Riken Cell Bank, Ibaraki, Japan), and recombinant baculoviruses were isolated. NextGen Sciences licensed the flashBAC technology from Oxford Brookes University for protein expression based on faster and easier production of recombinant baculoviruses using insect expression systems. Like many other researchers, Drezen had thought that the symbiotic viruses found in the braconid wasps were probably related to baculoviruses, which are common in insects and have capsules shaped like those of the symbiotic viruses. |
