The baculoviruses are a family of large rod-shaped viruses that can be divided to two genera: nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV) and granuloviruses (GV). While GVs contain only one nucleocapsid per envelope, NPVs contain either single (SNPV) or multiple (MNPV) nucleocapsids per envelope. The enveloped virions are further occluded in granulin matrix in G...

an insect virus used in the production of subunit vaccines. By splicing a specific HIV gene(s) into the baculovirus genome, and then combining this construct with insect cells, mass quantities of the purified HIV protein(s) coded for by these two HIV gene(s) can be made by the cells for use as a vaccine. (See also expression system.)
