Ipodix Insect Baculovirus Expression System: A Precision Platform for Eukaryotic Protein Production
Technical Advantages: Six Breakthrough Features Beyond Mammalian Systems
Ipodix’s third-generation recombinant baculovirus technology enables efficient expression and precise post-translational modification of complex proteins, meeting both drug development and industrial production demands.
1. High Secretion Efficiency
● 70–90% extracellular secretion rate, significantly reducing purification complexity
● Yield of 5–800 mg/L per infection cycle (3–8× higher than mammalian systems)
2. Accurate Post-Translational Modifications
● Glycosylation profile achieves 75% similarity to mammalian systems
● >98% disulfide bond accuracy and >90% phosphorylation precision
3. Multi-Gene Co-Expression Capability
● Single vector supports simultaneous expression of 4 foreign genes
● Case: Successful production of Fc-fused trimeric protein complexes
4. Serum-Free Culture Compatibility
● Compatible with SF900 III/SFM suspension media
● Cell density up to 8×10⁶ cells/mL (10× higher than adherent cultures)
5. Biosafety Assurance
● Non-infectious to vertebrates (compliant with lab safety standards)
● Endotoxin-free production
6. Scalable Manufacturing
● Single 500L bioreactor batch yields 200–500 g
● Production costs reduced by 40–60% vs. HEK293 systems
Service Workflow: End-to-End Development from Gene to Product
Ipodix’s 14-step standardized process ensures >88% project success rate.
Stage 1: Gene Design & Vector Construction (5–7 days)
● Codon optimization covering 12 lepidopteran insect preferences
● Dual polyhedrin (polh) and p10 promoter coordination
Stage 2: Viral Recombination & Screening (8–10 days)
● >99% recombination efficiency (Tn7 transposon system)
● Plaque assay-purified virus with titer >1×10⁸ PFU/mL
Stage 3: Cell Culture & Infection (7–14 days)
● MOI optimization range: 0.1–10
● Real-time cell viability monitoring (harvest triggered at >85% viability)
Stage 4: Downstream Purification (5–7 days)
● Three-step chromatography: affinity → ion exchange → size exclusion
● Ultrafiltration concentration system (final concentration 0.1–50 mg/mL)
Stage 5: Quality Validation & Delivery
● Basic QC: SDS-PAGE, Western Blot, HPLC
● Advanced QC: Glycan profiling (mass spectrometry), bioactivity validation
Applications: Spanning the Biopharma Value Chain
1. Cell Therapy Proteins
● CAR-T cell adaptor proteins with >97% correct folding rate
● Case: Bispecific antibody yield boosted to 1.2 g/L
