5 Day Introduction to the Recombinant Baculovirus Techniques Workshop

December 11-15, 2006
Cost: $2100.00

Topics will be approached using a combination of lectures and laboratory exercises. Laboratory experiments will reinforce the lecture materials and provide hands-on experience in the basic techniques surrounding recombinant protein expression using baculovirus vectors.

Topics covered

This 5-day workshop is great for those wanting to express recombinant protein in the baculovirus expression vector (BEV) system. We will cover the growth of insect cells, plaque assays, titering, amplification of recombinant virus and protein expression strategies.

As usual, this class is for those at all levels of expertise, although basic molecular biology and recombinant DNA experience is preferred.
