Production of recombinant polyhedra containing Cry1Ac fusion protein in insect cell lines.
Insect cell lines and the control of infection for obtaining the maximum amount of polyhedrin-CrylAc-polyhedrin fusion protein from Bactrus in monolayer and suspension culture systems were tested. Growth rates of the Trichoplusia ni (High-Five) cell line in both culture systems were better than the other insect cell lines, Spodoptera fiugiferda (Sf-9, Sf-21), Trichoplusia ni (Tn5), and Spodoptera exigua (Se301). The expression of the fusion protein in a monolayer culture showed that Se301 cells were 2.3-4.8 times more productive on a per cell basis than the other cell lines. However, in suspension culture, only High-Five cells were productive. High-Five cells infected with Bactrus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 and a cell density of 3.0 x 10(5) cells per ml were more productive than the other infection condition in a suspension culture suitable for a large-scale production of baculovirus. In conclusion, for the large-scale production of Bactrus in vitro, High-Five cells showing good growth and high productivity are suitable.
