Abstract excerpt
We describe the use of a baculovirus expression system to overproduce human Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD). Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf21) insect cells infected with a baculovirus carrying the Cu,Zn-SOD cDNA synthesized a large amount of Cu,Zn-SOD apoprotein in the conventional medium. The SOD activity of the apoprotein, which was initially very low, increased in a dose-dependent manner when Cu2+ and Zn2+ were...
