Bombyx mori ovary-derived BmN4 cells have been successfully adapted to a commercial serum-free medium (SFM; SF900-II) by gradually reducing the serum-containing TC-100 medium content from 100 to 0% (v/v). The BmN4 cells adapted to the SFM (BmN-SFM) adhered strongly to the culture flask and showed altered cell morphology. The BmN-SFM was subcultured 200 times, and the population doubling time was 4.70 d. Infection studies showed that BmN-SFM cells were easily susceptible to B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), and both the multiplication of budded virus and the promoter activity of the polyhedrin gene in BmN-SFM cells were almost the same as those in BmN4 cells before adaptation. Additionally, mouse interleukin-3 expressed by a recombinant BmNPV was normally secreted and modified with N-linked glycans in BmN-SFM cells. These findings indicate that BmN-SFM is particularly useful for a BmNPV-based baculovirus expression vector system with serum-free conditions.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012831 Bombyx A genus of silkworm MOTHS in the family Bombycidae of the order LEPIDOPTERA. The family contains a single species, Bombyx mori from the Greek for silkworm + mulberry tree (on which it feeds). A native of Asia, it is sometimes reared in this country. It has long been raised for its SILK and after centuries of domestication it probably does not exist in nature. It is used extensively in experimental GENETICS.
