PRODUCTION OF AN INTACT VIRUS IN A NON-HOST CELL SYSTEM USING A SECONDARY HOST VIRAL CONSTRUCT

摘要

The present invention relates to constructs and methods for the production of recombinant proteins, viruses, and viral vaccines in heterologous culture systems by expressing intact genes or viral genomes under the control of a pantropic promoter in a culture system that is not considered a host to the virus so produced. The promoter/viral genome constructs are inserted into a baculovirus and expressed in host cells that are acceptable for infection by the baculovirus.
