Abstract excerpt
The baculovirus lef-12 (orf41) gene is required for transient expression of baculovirus late genes. To analyze the role of LEF-12 in the context of infected cells, two mutant viruses were constructed. Both mutants were viable in Trichoplusia ni High 5 and Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells. Single-step growth curves, however, indicated that virus yields were reduced approximately fivefold in the absence of LEF-12....
