The Biology of Baculoviruses
The pathology caused by baculoviruses in insect popula tions was described centuries ago, notably in the larvae of insects such as the silkworm (Bombyx mori) which has been appreciated for...
This comprehensive volume provides readers with knowledge of basic and applied baculovirology so that current literature in the field can be appreciated.
Introduction to the molecular biology of baculoviruses; Baculovirus transfer vectors; Insect cell-culture techniques in serum-containing medium; Insect cell culture in serum-free media; Transfection techniques for producing recombinant ...
The third edition of this volume expands upon the previous two editions with new and up-to-date methods and protocols.
;Bridging the gap between laboratory research and pilot plant scale insect culture/baculovirus technology, Insect Cell Culture Engineering is designed as a reference for biochemical and bioprocess engineers, bioprocess technologists, ...
In addition to highlighting recent advances, this volume provides a comprehensive review of the biotechnological applications of these and other insect viruses in both the academic and private sectors.
