Abstract
The baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) delivers high yield heterologous protein expression and is widely used in academic and industrial R&D. The proteins produced enable many applications including structure/function analysis, drug screening and manufacture of protein therapeutics. Vital cellular functions are controlled by multi-protein complexes, MultiBac, a BEVS specifically designed for heterologous multigene delivery and expression, has unlocked many of these machines to atomic resolution studies. Baculovirus can accommodate very large foreign DNA cargo for faithful delivery into a target host cell, tissue or organism. Engineered MultiBac variants exploit this valuable feature for delivery of customized multifunctional DNA circuitry in mammalian cells and for production of virus-like particles for vaccines manufacture. Here, latest developments and applications of the MultiBac system are reviewed.
