A baculovirus is a rod-shaped virus of the family Baculoviridae, including granuloviruses and nucleopolyhedroviruses.
Most commonly found in insects.
it is used to transfer genes into insect cells
A bacmid is a type of cloning vector commonly used in baculovirus expression systems. It contains sequences derived from both bacterial plasmids and baculoviruses, allowing for efficient manipulation and propagation of recombinant baculoviruses for protein expression in insect cells. The bacmid serves as the backbone for introducing foreign DNA into the baculovirus genome.

Recombinant cytokines, i.e., cytokines produced by expression from suitable cloning vectors containing the desired cytokine gene, can be expressed in yeast(see: Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression system), bacteria (see: Escherichia coli expression system), mammalian cells (see: BHK, CHO, COS, Namalwa), or insect cell systems (see: Baculovirus expression system).
