Insect Cell Protein Expression Service

  

 

 

 

The quality of service provided by KMD Bioscience is the result of many years of research. KMD Bioscience scientists have extensive experience in insect cell protein expression, fermentation, and purification and can quickly develop customized insect cell protein expression strategies for you based on your purposes. We are committed to reducing your time wastage by providing a better service in less time because more time means more progress.  The insect cell expression system has been a powerful protein expression system for intracellular protein production. It has a large genome, which enables the insertion of large exogenous genes and, therefore, has the great advantage of expressing proteins with large molecular weight. It can also achieve complete post-translational modification and efficiently express exogenous genes. Insect cells can grow to high cell density and achieve high protein yield after being infected with baculovirus containing the target gene of interest.

KMD Bioscience is a reliable partner to ​fuel the engine of your research. We have extensive experience in producing large quantities of recombinant proteins with the insect cell expression system. We can provide our customer with advanced codon optimization specific to Sf9, Sf21, Hi-5, and S2 insect cell lines, to further enhance the expression of the protein. Data speaks for itself, KMD Bioscience has successfully produced about 1000 recombinant proteins using our insect cell expression system, including kinase proteins, viral proteins, cytokines, and growth factor proteins.

Applications

Sf9

* Sf9 is separated from IPLBSF21-AE.

* Transfection, purification, production of high titer viruses, plating, and recombinant protein expression. Sf21 cells are superior to Sf9 cells in some structural expressions.

Sf21

* Sf21 is derived from IPLBSF-21 cell line

* Transfection, purification, production of high titer viruses, plating, and expression of recombinant proteins. Sf21 cells are superior to Sf9 cells in some structural expressions, such as crystal protein.

Hi5

* Hi5 is derived from the ovarian cells of the cabbage inchworm and cabbage looper

* Suitable for the expression of recombinant virus particles and also commonly used for transfection and plaque purification, and the Hi5 cell line is more suitable for the expression of secreted recombinant proteins.

S2

* S2 is derived from the late embryonic cell of drosophila. Most of them are female tetraploid cells and some are diploid cells.

* More suitable for recombinant expression of viral structural proteins.
