Abstract

The effect of baculovirus infection on cell death in suspended cultures was characterized based on work by Wu et al. (1993) Biotech. Bioeng. 41: 104–110 and Wu et al. (1994) Biotechnol. Prog. 10: 55–59. The post infection time can be separated into a constant viability phase characterized by a time delay, td, and a rapid death phase, which is characterized by a specific death rate constant, k. Results indicated that the characteristic time delay decreased with increased multiplicity on infection (MOI). Further, there was only a weak correlation between specific death rate and MOI, for the range of MOI tested. Cell infection and death rates were consistent with a more evenly distributed infection process likely found in suspension cultures.
