What are the Advantages of Using Insect Cells Over Other Systems?
Insect cells offer several advantages over bacterial and yeast expression systems, including: 1. Post-translational Modifications: Insect cells can perform complex post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation, which are essential for the activity of many enzymes. 2. High Yield: They can produce high yields of recombinant proteins. 3. Scalability: The system is easily scalable for large-scale production. 4. Versatility: It can be used to express a wide variety of proteins, including those that are toxic to bacteria or yeast.
