Engineered resistance to Nosema bombycis by in vitro expression of a single-chain antibody in Sf9-III cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Nosema bombycis is a destructive, obligate intracellular parasite of the Bombyx mori. In this study, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) dependent technology is developed for the purpose of inhibiting parasite proliferation in insect cells.
