A nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) (Baculoviridae)-based gene expression system was improved by DNA recombination. The BmN cell line established from Bombyx mori and the Sf21 cell line established from Spodoptera frugiperda are non-permissive for Autographa californica multicapsid NPV (AcMNPV) and B. mori NPV (BmNPV) replication, respectively. After cotransfection of AcMNPV DNA and BamHI-digested BmNPV DNA into Sf21 cells, progeny viruses were isolated by plaque purification on BmN cell monolayers and the host specificity of one viral isolate was analysed. The virus had a wider host range, and replicated and produced polyhedra in Sf21 cells, BmN cells and larvae of the silkworm, B. mori. DNA restriction endonuclease analysis showed that the isolate was a hybrid of AcMNPV and BmNPV. Using the AcMNPV transfer vector pAcYM 1 a portion of the polyhedrin gene of the hybrid virus was replaced with the coding region of the firefly luciferase gene, producing a recombinant virus. The latter expressed firefly luciferase in both cell lines and in silkworm larvae under the control of the polyhedrin promoter.
