Abstract:Background: Insect specific DNA baculoviruses have been widely used for
biological control of insect pests to reduce cancers caused by chemical
application in agriculture and forestry and as vectors for high yield
exogenous protein expression. The most extensively studied and widely
used baculovirus is the Autographa californica multicapsid
nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) due to its ability to replicate in many
permissive cells with high virus titer. During serial passage of AcMNPV
in permissive insect cells at … Show more
