Abstract:Pericardial cells rapidly cleared recombinant-juvenile hormone esterase (rJHE) expressed within a baculovirus in insects from the hemolymph. To prevent the clearance of rJHE, we used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to remove the signal sequence from the JHE gene, thereby converting the enzyme to a non-secreted form (NSJHE). The resulting gene was expressed in a baculovirus (AcN-SJHE) using HIGH-FIVE cells and proper cellular enzyme production was monitored. Transcription level of the NSJHE and rJHE were co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
