Semliki Forest virus as an expression vector in insect cell lines

Studies were undertaken to determine if replication‐deficient Semliki Forest virus expression vectors could be successfully used to express foreign gene constructs in insect cell lines. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker we recorded infection levels of nearly 100% in the Aedes albopictus cell lines C6/36 and Aa23T, as well as in the Ae. aegypti cell line MOS20. The virus was capable of infecting an Anopheles gambiae cell line MOS55. The amount of GFP protein produced in each cell line was quantified. Northern analysis of viral transcription revealed the presence of novel transcripts in Aa23T, C6/36, and MOS55 cell lines, but not in the BHK or MOS20. The initial characterization of these transcripts is described.
