Abstract excerpt
The glycophospholipid-linked, amphiphilic form of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from Torpedo californica and the hydrophilic form from mouse were overexpressed in Sf9 insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. Recombinant baculovirus, constructed by inserting AChE cDNA's into the genome of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus adjacent to the strong polyhedron promoter, yielded recombinant...
