IntroductionThe Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS) is a widely used tool for the production and expression of baculoviruses and recombinant proteins. The Sf9 and Sf21 insect cell lines, derived from the ovaries of the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda, have been the cell lines of choice when using the BEVS technology. Recently, Protein Sciences Corporation1developed a new cell line derived from Spodoptera frugiperda, which is morphologically and genetically different from the Sf9 cell line2. The cell line, expres SF+®, was developed using a series of stringent selection steps in serum-free medium with added insulin2. The cell line was designed to possess characteristics that favor the commercial production of baculoviruses and recombinant proteins.EX-CELL TM420 Serum-Free Medium for nsect Cells is a serum-free, protein-free medium designed and optimized for suspension culture of Spodopteran cell lines. Previous studies with this medium have shown that Sf9 and Sf21 cells adapt easily to EX-CELL TM420, and that EX-CELL TM420 supports high cell densities, baculovirus production and secreted and intracellular recombinant protein expression3,4. Experiments were designed to assess the ease with which expres SF+®cells adapt to EX-CELL TM420, to evaluate cell growth and viability in shaker flask culture and to determine freezing conditions. The results demonstrate that expres SF+®cells quickly adapt to EX-CELL TM420, with no observed decrease in cell growth or viability. expres SF+®cell viabilities and densities in EX-CELL TM420 were comparable to those seen in cultures grown in Sf-900 I I SFM, (I nvitrogen Corporation) and expres SF+®cells frozen in fresh EX-CELL TM420 medium with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exhibited viabilities of about 90% upon thawing from storage in liquid nitrogen.MaterialsCells• expres SF+®Serum-Free I nsect Cells, Protein Sciences Corporation, Catalog No. 1000Media and Supplements• Sf-900 II SFM, Invitrogen Corporation, Catalog No. 10902 • EX-CELL TM420, SAFC Biosciences, Inc., Catalog No. 14420• L-Glutamine Solution 200 mM, SAFC Biosciences, I nc., Catalog No. 59202• DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich Co., Catalog No. D-2650 Methodsexpres SF+®Culture Initiationexpres SF+®cells were handled and subcultured per the manual (Version 1.4) provided by the manufacturer. As such, a new vial of frozen expres SF+®cells was thawed rapidly with agitation in a 28 C water bath. Once a small ice pellet remained, the contents of the vial were added to 100 mL pre-warmed Sf-900 II SFM in a 250 mL spinner flask. The flask was incubated at 28 C in a non-CO2atmosphere, with constant stirring at 100 rpm. The cells were subsequently subcultured into triplicate shaker flasks (50 mL volume per 125 mL flask) at a seeding density of 1.5 x 106cells/mL. Flasks were incubated at 28 C, on an orbital shaker at 135 rpm. Cell counts and viability were monitored using trypan blue exclusion methods. Flasks were subcultured every 2 - 3 days using the same seeding density as above.Direct Adaptation and Continuous Growth of expres SF+®Cells in EX-CELL TM420Cultures initiated in Sf-900 II SFM were passed five times to ensure the cultures were well established. On the sixth pass, the cells were directly subcultured into 100% EX-CELL TM420 medium at a seeding density of 1.5 x 106cells/mL. These cultures were monitored for an additional five passes to assess cell density and viability in EX-CELL TM420. On the sixth pass, a kinetic growth curve was generated by obtaining daily cell counts, until culture viability dropped below 50%.Growth Characteristics of the expres SF+®Serum-Free Insect Cell Line in EX-CELL TM420 Serum-Free MediaTechnical BulletinUnited States SAFC Biosciences, Inc. 13804 W. 107th Street EuropeSAFC Biosciences Ltd.Smeaton Road, West PortwayAsia PacificSAFC Biosciences Pty. Ltd.18-20 Export DriveFreeze/T haw Evaluation of expres SF+®Cells in EX-CELL TM 420To evaluate freezing conditions in EX-CELL TM 420, a cell bank of expres SF+®cells was prepared. Mid-log phase cells ( > 95%viable) were harvested and centrifuged to remove spent medium. The cells were resuspended at 3 x 107cells/mL in a cryopreservation medium consisting of 90% fresh EX-CELL TM 420 medium and 10% DMSO. Cells were frozen at a controlled rate and stored under liquid nitrogen. Cell viability post-thaw was determined by thawing 3 vials (1 mL each) of cells and combining them directly into a 125 mLTo demonstrate the kinetic growth curve of expres SF+®cellsin continuous culture, expres SF+®cells were maintained in EX-CELL TM 420 for seven days (see Figure 2). Cell densities increased exponentially over the first two days then appeared to plateau between days two to four, reaching maximum densities of approximately 7 x 106cells/mL. Culture viabilities remained high (above 95%) until day four, after which viabilities dropped to below 50% by day seven. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the optimal time for subculture is during the exponential growth phase of the cells, which is between two to three days in culture.Conclusions• expres SF+®cells can be transferred directly into EX-CELL TM420 from Sf-900 I I SFM without an adaptation period.• expres SF+®cells grown in EX-CELL TM420 achieve densities of 6-7 x 106cells/mL with viabilities greater than 95%.• expres SF+®cells can be frozen and recovered in EX-CELL TM420 with only the addition of 10%DMSO.

杆状病毒表达系统(baculovirus expression system)是近年来应用较多的真核表达系统,它可以在昆虫细胞中表达多种外源基因,包括真菌,植物,细菌,病毒的基因。
杆状病毒是一类以昆虫细胞为天然宿主的双链DNA病毒,具有高度的种属特异性,不感染脊椎动物,对人、畜无害。
目前研究较多的是苜蓿银纹夜蛾核多角体病毒(AcNPV) ,其宿主是草地贪夜蛾。
而sf9细胞,正是杆状病毒表达系统的宿主细胞之一。
sf9细胞属于半贴壁型细胞系,可以进行悬浮培养,也可以进行贴壁培养,在应用于蛋白的表达与制备纯化中,有着许多的优点。
杆状病毒表达系统的主要优越性有:①表达的重组蛋白能正确折叠,并形成二硫键;②翻译后可进行修饰加工如糖基化、磷酸化、酰胺化及信号肽切割等,使重组蛋白在结构和功能上更接近天然蛋白;③与其他真核表达系统相比,杆状病毒表达系统可以高效表达外源基因,表达量最高可达被感染昆虫细胞总蛋白量的5 0 %;④可以容纳大片段外源基因。
杆状病毒表达系统——有效的VLP构建工具刘拂晓1,2 柳增善2 王志亮1【摘要】杆状病毒表达系统是以杆状病毒为外源基因载体,昆虫细胞或活体昆虫为受体的真核表达系统。
相对于其他表达系统,杆状病毒表达系统具有特殊的优势:杆状病毒基因组作为表达载体可以容纳更多外源基因;杆状病毒极晚期启动子能有效调控外源蛋白的表达;昆虫细胞作为受体能够对外源蛋白进行加工修饰;杆状病毒通常只感染节肢动物,不会对人畜构成危害。
因此,该系统越来越受到人们的重视,并已应用于亚单位疫苗的研发与生产,特别其对于构建病毒样颗粒,即由一种或多种病毒结构蛋白自行装配而成且不含病毒基因组的蛋白颗粒,具有不可比拟的优势。
对此做详细评述并展望病毒样颗粒疫苗的发展趋势。

此后,杆状病毒蛋白表达技术逐步建立并完善起来。
相对于传统大肠杆菌、酵母及哺乳动物细胞蛋白表达技术,杆状病毒技术在病毒样颗粒(virus-like particle,VLP)的构建及应用方面具有不可比拟的优势。

大多数VLP 是良好的免疫原,既可诱导体液免疫又可诱导细胞免疫[3-5]。
随着杆状病毒蛋白表达技术的成熟,利用其构建VLP的报道也屡见不鲜。

At the same time, the glycosylation site that aff ected the formation of disulfi de bonds were changed based on the structure and glycosylation prediction analysis of CSFV-E2. Finally, suspension transfection was performed to increase the titer of rescued viruses. The results showed that 95% of the mutant E2 protein was in the form of homodimer. The expression level of E2 protein was increased about 4 times by optimizing donor plasmid and deletion of viral vector gene and the passages of the recombinant baculovirus strain with stable expression of protein was extended from P7 to P20. The titer of recombinant baculovirus obtained by suspension transfection increased by about 70 times, and suffi cient low viral passages were obtained, which eff ectively shortened the time from strain construction to protein expression and solved the problems of low protein production of baculovirus expression system and virus passages of strain seeds.

Baculovirus Facility in Cambridge
The Baculovirus Expression System
The Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS) has been widely used in research and scientific industrial communities for the production of high levels (up to 1000mg/mL) of properly post-translationally modified (folding, disulfide bond formation, oligomerization, glycosylation, acylation, proteolytic cleavage), biologically active and functional recombinant proteins. The Baculovirus Expression Vector System is based on the introduction of a foreign gene into nonessential for viral replication genome regio n via of homologous recombination with a transfer vector containing target gene. The resulting recombinant Baculovirus lacks one of nonessential gene (polh, v-cath, chiA etc.) replaced with foreign gene encoding heterologous protein which can be expressed in cultured insect cells and insect larvae. Baculovirus Facility in Cambridge offers services on protein expression and production - from recombinant baculovirus production to large scale protein expression.
Several features make the Baculovirus Expression Vector System attractive for researchers:
- High levels of heterologous gene expression are often achieved compared to other eukaryotic expression systems, particularly for intracellular proteins. In many cases, the recombinant proteins are soluble, post-translationally modified and easily recovered from infected cells late in infection when host protein synthesis is diminished.
-The cell lines used for AcMNPV propagation grow well in suspension cultures, permitting the production of recombinant proteins in large-scale bioreactors.
- Expression of hetero-oligomeric protein complexes can be achieved by simultaneously infecting cells with two or more viruses or by infecting cells with recombinant viruses containing two or more expression cassettes.
- Baculoviruses have a restricted host range, limited to specific invertebrate species. They are safer to work with than most mammalian viruses since they are noninfectious to vertebrates.
What is baculovirus?
Baculoviruses are rod-shaped (baculum in Latin means 'stick') dsDNA viruses found mainly in insects. The most common baculovirus used for expression studies is Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (Ac MNPV), which relies on the lepidopteran species Spodoptera frugiperda and Trichoplusia ni as host insects. Ac MNPV particles surround themselves with a protective matrix consisting of the protein polyhedrin, which permits survival in the environment and efficient spread to new hosts.
Under the control of the extremely strong promoter pPolh, polyhedrin is expressed at extremely high levels (up to 50% of all cellular protein) at the end of the baculovirus life cycle. The baculovirus expression system makes use of the fact that in cell culture a polyhedrin coat is not essential for virus propagation and thus heterologous proteins can be expressed under the control of the pPolh promoter (see O'Reilly et al. (1997) for further reading).
Bac-to-Bac procedure
The Bac-to-Bac baculovirus system (Invitrogen) provides a rapid way for the generation of recombinant baculoviruses. It is based on site-specific transposition of an expression cassette into a baculovirus shuttle vector (bacmid). Bacmid DNA can be propagated in E. coli DH10Bac as a large plasmid that confers resistance to kanamycin. The bacmid complements a lacZ deletion present on the chromosome to form colonies that are blue (Lac-) in the presence of a chromogenic substrate and the inducer IPTG. Transposition of the gene of interest from the pFastBac1 donor plasmid into the bacmid disrupts the lacZ sequence causing recombinant bacmids to appear as white colonies. Transfection of the recombinant bacmid DNA into insect cells leads to the generation of recombinant baculovirus particles that can be amplified in successive rounds of infection and eventually used for protein expression studies (see Invitrogen manual for further details)。
