BmN cell line distribution service

From 2023, we have started a BmN cell line distribution service. Currently, three cell lines are available for distribution: cell lines deposited by Professor Katsuma of Tokyo University and Professor Ikeda of Nagoya University, and cell lines derived from strains of NBRP Silkworms. The cells can be used for transient expression experiments of exogenous genes and protein production with baculovirus.
