The authors describe derivation of vectors for insertion of recombinant proteins into the envelope of budded virus, either as a fusion protein with GP64, or simply by using the GP67 signal peptide and anchor sequences. Both polyhedrin and gp64 gene promoters were utilised.

The authors show that modification of the glycosylation process in insect cells is possible by producing β-1,4-galactosyltransferase to enable addition of galactose to GP64. The modified sugars did not appear to affect virus infectivity.

This paper advances the idea that secretion of immunoglobulins may be improved by coexpression with protein disulphide isomerase. It implies that the components of the insect cell secretory pathway are unable to cope with some complex mammalian proteins.
