RESUMEN

A recombinant baculovirus, vAc beta hCG, having a replacement of the viral polyhedrin gene with the cDNA encoding the beta subunit of hCG was used to express beta hCG, an extensively glycosylated hormone, in insect cells. Virus-infected cells, 72 hr pi, secreted approximately 8.02 micrograms beta hCG/2 x 10(6) cells/ml. The recombinant beta hCG purified from insect cells exhibited increased mobility on SDS-PAGE as compared to authentic urinary beta hCG, a reflection on differences in glycosylation between insect and mammalian systems. The insect derived beta hCG, however, was identical to the native hormonal peptide in terms of immunoreactivity and bioactivity on association with alpha-subunit, as evident by its binding to rat testicular receptors and induction of steroidogenesis in a mouse Leydig cell bioassay system. The implications of using the baculovirus system to study the importance of carbohydrates for biological activity are also discussed.

RESUMEN

A cDNA encoding the alpha subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin, a placental glycoprotein hormone, was cloned downstream to the viral polyhedrin gene promoter of Autographa california nuclear polyhedrosis virus and the recombinant transfer vector was used to co-transfect Spodoptera frugiperda cells growing in culture. Recombinant baculovirus carrying the alpha hCG gene was detected and isolated after dot hybridization using supernatant from co-transfected cells. Recombinant vAc alpha hCG having a replacement of the viral polyhedrin gene, which is hyper-transcribed very late in the infection cycle, with the alpha hCG cDNA was purified after a single round of plaque purification. Insect cell culture infected with vAc alpha hCG, secreted high levels of hCG which was biologically active.
