title: Transcriptome sequencing of and microarray development for a Helicoverpa zea cell line to investigate in vitro insect cell-baculovirus interactions
organism: Helicoverpa zea
description: Samples containing 5x1E5 H. zea (HzAM1) cells (Mcintosh and Ignoffo, 1983), grown in shaker-flask suspension cultures using serum free insect medium (VPM3), were collected for total RNA extraction and DNA removal using the Qiagen RNAeasy extraction and on-column DNAse kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany).
