Expression of the melittin gene of Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in insect cells
A fragment encoding melittin cDNA from Apis cerana cerana fused with glutathione S-transferase gene was inserted into the multiple cloning site of the pBacFastHTb to construct a recombinant donor plasmid, pBacHT-GSTAccM, which was transposed to the ...
