Abstract

The baculovirus expression system was employed for production of a modified, FLAG-epitope tagged Musca domestica acetylcholinestearse (AChE) in Sf9 cells. The signal peptide of ecdysteroid UDP-glycosyltransferase (EGT) of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus was utilized for translocation of the protein into the secretory pathway of the insect cell. Further, secretion was enabled by truncation of its hydrophobic domain. The protein was produced in large scale, and purified from the extra cellular space of the infected cell cultures by immunoaffinity chromatography using the mouse monoclonal Ml antibody. Up to 30 mg of biologically active protein was produced per liter of cell culture.
