Request More Info: Insect Cell Culture and Baculovirus Expression Vector System

Learn more about the relatively new field of insect cell culture through this four day training including both laboratory exercises and classroom instruction. You will learn about insect cell culture techniques and the utility of the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). This program focuses on the historical development of BEVS, baculovirus molecular biology, and baculovirus expressions technology.  An in-depth look at how proteins are produced, modified and localized during infection at the molecular level will bring you to a much higher level of understanding.

Baculoviruses are safe, eukaryotic expression vectors that can produce recombinant proteins at high levels in insect cells. The insect cell culture coupled with BEVS is a powerful technique to produce recombinant proteins and viral vaccines.

The BETC offers a one-day training course that allows biomanufacturing employees to learn about and practice troubleshooting and root cause analysis in real time, within a full pilot-scale manufacturing setting featuring both single-use and stainless steel.
