Abstract
Described herein is a method of expressing heterologous proteins in insect cells using an expression cassette comprising a structural gene for a heterologous protein physically attached to an insect cellular promoter and an enhancer. The cells may also express the IE-1 product. Also described herein is a method of killing insects comprising infecting the insects with a recombinant baculovirus comprising a structural gene for an incompatible protein functionally linked to an insect cellular promoter and an enhancer. The invention is also directed towards expression cassettes comprising an insect cellular promoter functionally linked to an enhancer wherein the promoter is capable of directing the expression of a heterologous protein in tissues containing the expression cassette, recombinant expression cassettes containing heterologous proteins, transplacement fragments, vectors and recombinant baculoviruses.
