Insect cells are relatively cheap to maintain and are capable of producing accurately translated and correctly processed heterologous proteins. Recent research has focused on the development of improved expression vectors for continuous, high-level production of foreign proteins, including a number

โฆ Synopsis
Stable transformed insect cell lines have been used for producing many highly processed heterologous proteins. Current research has focused on development of new expression and selection systems, and enhancement of vector stability. Defining the variation of modification and processing capabilities between cell lines will further enhance complex protein production from insect cells.
