Published 29 December 2018 The baculovirus-insect cell expression system has become one of the most widely used eukaryotic expression systems for heterologous protein production in many laboratories. To date, limited data has been presented in the literature to benchmark the protocols used for baculovirus vectors, and this study facilitates the selection of a system for optimal production of targe
