Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating in a single step a library of recombinant baculoviruses for screening for a protein of interest, starting from a pooled-library of poly-nucleotides each encoding a different protein. Insect cells are infected with a pooled-library of baculoviruses at a very low multiplicity of infection (MOI) leading to the situation where the majority of cells are infected by a single baculovirus. The pool of cells is then treated with a viral inhibitor which prevents secreted baculoviruses from penetrating other cells without affecting, either the capacity of the cell to express the target protein, nor intracellular viral replication and accumulation.
