Baculoviruses: high-level expression in insect cells

Baculoviruses continue to serve as workhorse vectors for the high-level expression of eukaryotic genes in insect cells; however, numerous researchers are also finding novel uses for these vectors by taking advantage of the unique nature of the viruses and their host cells. Concurrently, the technology involved in constructing and utilizing these vectors is being improved so that the time and effort required to construct expression vectors are reduced.
