## Abstract A chitin‐synthesizing cockroach cell line (UMBGE‐4) previously shown to secrete ecdysteroids was analyzed for its ability to metabolize potential precursors of ecdysone (e.g., 2‐deoxyecdysone, 2,22‐dideoxyecdysone, 2,22,25‐trideoxyecdysone, and cholesterol). All, except cholesterol, wer

## Abstract The study of adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation in insects has been limited by the lack of a system suitable for analysis of molecular mechanisms. Here, we describe the establishment of a model system of lipid accumulation in BmN4 cells, which are derived from silkworm ova
A cell line derived from the embryos of the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis (BRL-AG-2), was used to study morphological and biochemical responses to 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). The cells respond to 10 -6 M 20E by inhibition of cell growth and enhanced production of some secreted proteins. Crude
## Abstract The O‐glycosidically linked Oligosaccharides on the pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein gp50 synthesized by three different cell lines were studied. The intact membrane protein (gp50) was expressed in Vero cells and in the insect cell line Sf9. In addition, a truncated, secreted form
