BIOINSECT-1 is a serum-free medium optimized for the culture of lepidopteran insect cells. The medium supports both suspension and stationary cultures of SF-9 cells derived from the pupal ovarian tissue of spodoptera frugiperda. SF-9 cells are suitable hosts for the replication of the baculovirus Autographa colifornica nuclear polyhedrosis virus. This virus, isolated from the Alfalfa looper, is used for the recombinant expression of heterologous proteins in the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Insect cells, infected with this virus, display accumulations of the highly expressed protein polyhedrin, within the nuclea (polyhedra).
