Abstract
Attempts have been made to use cultured insect cells for the production of foreign proteins by stably transforming the cultured cells. For this purpose, usually the target gene and a gene that facilitates the selection of transformed cells such as antibiotics resistant gene are introduced at the same time. There are various methods to transfect cultured cells.
