Title:
PROTEIN PRODUCTION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001029204
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a protein of interest, comprising transforming an insect with a non-viral expression system capable of expressing the protein of interest in the larvae of the insect; breeding the insect to produce larvae; culturing the larvae; and isolating the protein of interest from the larvae. The transformation is advantageously performed by means of a transposon vector.
