Serum-free medium for the expression of growth and product with that of insect cells

摘要

Serum free media which support the growth of insect cells and the production thereby of recombinant proteins and viral products are herein disclosed. The serum free media can support insect cell growth at large scale under agitated and/or sparged, preferably well-aerated conditions. The serum free medium disclosed support insect cell growth to cell densities comparable to serum-containing culture and the production of viral and recombinant products to levels equivalent to those found in serum containing culture.
