Abstract

Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is an established technology for recombinant protein expression in insect cells. Further, BEVS-mediated gene transduction of mammalian cells (BacMam) is emerging as a technique for high level recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells. Here, we describe generic method in using BEVS as a BacMam for rapid recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells.
