Insect Expression Support
Explore the “Getting Started” and “Troubleshooting” sections for solutions to top inquiries and common problems. Browse through the “Guides and Tools” section to access comprehensive product-related support resources.
Getting started
- Is baculovirus good for expressing toxic proteins?
- What does viral infection look like in early, late, and very late stages?
- How can I store my viral stock?
- What is the multiplicity of infection, and how can I calculate it?
- Can you outline the main steps of performing a plaque assay, and any suggestions when performing this assay?
Troubleshooting
- I am trying to clone my insert into the pFastBac™ vector and am getting no or few colonies after transformation. What are the possible causes and recommendations for this?
- My bacmid DNA contains a mixture of recombinant bacmid and empty bacmid. What am I doing wrong?
- I’m getting a low yield of virus when using the Bac-to-Bac® baculovirus expression system. Why is this, and what can I do to improve my yield?
- I’m getting a low-titer P1 viral stock and would like to generate a high-titer stock. What should I do?
- I’m yielding no plaques from my baculovirus plaque assay. What are the possible causes for this?
