Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of the process and application of recombinant baculoviruses generated using the Bac-to-Bac Baculovirus Expression System. The constructed recombinant baculovirus vector, pFastBacDual-GP64SP-FC-VSVG, is illustrated. The target proteins were cloned into a baculovirus vector containing a fusion gene fragment comprising the gp64 SP signal peptide, porcine-derived IgG Fc fragment (pFc), vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G), and human cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer/promoter cassette. Notably, Bac-RP induces elevated cytokine secretion, IgG titers, and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation while maintaining high biosafety in murine models.
Article Snippet: Cells were then stained with PE-labeled CD3, APC-A700-labeled CD4, and FITC-labeled CD8 (Proteintech, Wuhan, China) and incubated at 4 °C in the dark for 30 min. After two PBS washes, fluorescence analysis was performed using flow cytometry (Becton Dickinson FACS Calibur system, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) to assess CD3, CD4, and CD8 expression.
