Southern-blot analysis indicated that transformed S2 cells contained multiple copies of the HAV VPI gene in the genome."

"Recombinant VPI was secreted into a culture medium with a molecular mass of 42-49 kDa. A maximum production level of 6.24 mg of recombinant VPI/litre was obtained in a T-flask culture of Drosophila S2 cells S days after induction with 0.5 mM CuSO4. The recombinant HAV VPI protein elicited the production of specific...
