Abstract
The baculovirus expression vector system using insect cells as a bioreactor has been used for in vitro expression of recombinant proteins and plays an important role in the fields of biology, agronomy, and medicine. Screening suitable host cell lines is an important part of the construction of insect cell baculovirus expression systems. In previous research, we used a single-cell cloning process with the Papilio xuthus cell line RIRI-PX1 and obtained the monoclonal cell line RIRI-PX1-C31. In this study, we compared the basic biological and recombinant protein expression characteristics of RIRI-PX1-C31 and its parent cell line RIRI-PX1 and found that the expression of recombinant β-galactosidase in RIRI-PX1-C31 was significantly higher than that in the parental cell line. Further serum-free adaptation studies confirmed that RIRI-PX1-C31 can adapt to the growth environment of Express Five Serum-free medium and that its expression level of recombinant β-galactosidase was significantly higher than that before adaptation.
