Thermo Fisher, B82101, Sf21 Cells in Grace's

Sf21 Cells in Grace's Gibco™ Sf21 cells are commonly used to isolate and propagate recombinant baculoviral stocks and to produce recombinant proteins. The cells originated at the USDA Insect Pathology Laboratory, where they were derived from the pupal ovarian tissue of the fall army worm,Spodoptera frugiperda. Gibco™ Sf21 cells (frozen in Grace's Insect Medium) feature:
• Recombinant protein expression from a variety of expression systems
• Good growth in adherent or suspension culture
• Quality and performance testingRecombinant protein expression from a variety of expression systemsHigh levels of protein expression in Sf21 cells can be obtained using either theBaculoDirect™ Baculovirus Expression System, theBac-to-Bac™ Baculovirus Expression System, or theInsectDirect™ Expression System.
Good growth in adherent or suspension cultureProtocols for adherent or suspension growth in Gibco™Supplemented Grace's Insect Mediumare available in the product manual. Cultures can easily be transferred between the two conditions for ease of workflow.
Quality and performance testingEach lot of Gibco™ Sf21 cells is tested for cell growth and viability post-recovery from cryopreservation.
