Abstract:
Heliothis zea (HzAM1) insect cells were immobilized in microspheres by sodium-cellulosesulfate (NaCS) and polydiallyldimethylammoniumchloride (PDADMAC). The highest HzAMI cell density was 7.5×107 cells/mL in the microspheres. After infection of the immobilized cells byHeliothis zea single nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HzSNPV), the highest concentration of HzSNPV (polyhedral inclusion bodies: PIBs) produced was 2.87×1010 PIBs/mL in the microspheres.
