Abstract

Baculovirus occlusion bodies have been recently engineered to incorporate foreign protein such as the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) CrylAc protein for improvement of insecticidal activity. In this study, polyhedrin, cylAc, egfp and crylCa genes were fused to produce occlusion bodies that contain novel recombinant crystal protein by homologous recombination between cylAc and crylCa genes in insect cells.
