  • Recombinant protein production and insect cell culture and process
    Patent number: 5637477
    Abstract: A process has been developed for recombinant production of selected polypeptides using transformed insect cells cultured in a horizontally rotating culture vessel modulated to create low shear conditions. A metabolically transformed insect cell line is produced using the culture procedure regardless of genetic transformation. The recombinant polypeptide can be produced by an alternative process using virully infected or stably transformed insect cells containing a gene encoding the described polypeptide. The insect cells can also be a host for viral production.
