New cell clones were established from the Trichoplusia ni cell line (BTI Tn5B1-4), commonly referred to as High FiveR cells. To preserve specific cell types and their specialized properties, six new cell clones of High Five cells were isolated and tested for their ability to sustain baculovirus susceptibility and high levels of expression of recombinant protein production.

Species 1: Lepidoptera Noctuidae Trichoplusia ni (cabbage looper)
