In this work the proteolytic activity in the supernatant and inside insect cells in culture was evaluated for different multiplicities of infection (MOI) and times of infection (TOI). Several methods to detect proteolytic activity in insect cells were tested and that using fluorescein thiocyanite-ca

✦ Synopsis
In this work Sf-9 cells previously adapted to SF900II and EXCELL 401 serum-free media (SFM) were grown and infected at di †erent agitation rates in order to study the e †ects of power input upon cell growth, infection and production of Pr55gag particles in both SFM. Maximum cell concentration increased from 3 ] 106 to 6 ] 106 cells cm~3 and 6É5 ] 106 cells cm~3 when the agitation increased from 80 to 250 rpm or sparged aeration (0É01 vvm at 170 rpm) is used, clearly indicating that cell growth is limited by gas transfer. The speciÐc productivity increased 3É5-fold when the agitation rate was increased from 80 to 170 rpm, indicating that in SFM cell infection is also limited by gas transfer. The highest product concentration was obtained in SF900II at 120 h post-infection (hpi). The product quality analysis showed that SF900II is the best medium for production of Pr55gag particles and that a careful optimisation of the harvest time is required. The maximum product titre was obtained at 120 hpi, 48 h after the achievement of the highest quality. 1998

## Abstract The baculovirus expression system is one of the most popular methods used for the production of recombinant proteins but has several complex steps which have proved inherently difficult to adapt to a multi‐parallel process. We have developed a bacmid vector that does not require any for
