Significant advances in basic and applied biology have resulted from the use of baculovirus vectors for the expression of heterologous proteins in cultured insect cells and in insect larvae. The development of improved vectors has greatly facilitated the construction of recombinant baculoviruses, both by increasing the efficiency of identifying recombinant viruses and by reducing or eliminating the tedious steps used to purify the desired recombinant virus from its non-recombinant parent virus.
