Building on earlier research, insect cell culture began with the successful establishment of
one cell line from pupal ovarian tissue. The field has grown to the extent that now over 500 …

There is mounting evidence that a wide variety of compounds can have endocrine disrupting
effects on humans and wildlife. However, investigations so far have focused primarily on …

Publisher Summary This chapter examines the information gathered about the ecdysteroid
receptor at three levels and provides brief descriptions and references for the tools used to …

Insecticide development in recent years has been guided mostly by chemorational and
biorational design based on understanding of the physiology and ecology of insects and …

This chapter lists the known cell lines from Lepidoptera, largely based on previous
compilations of insect cell lines published by W. Fred Hink. The official designation is given …

Animal cell culture has gained a paramount position in modern biotechnology, as evidenced
by the large market share and important applications that proteins derived from this …

The goal of this study was to generate cell lines from a variety of insect tissues that could be
useful for developing in vitro assays with tissue-specific properties. In this article, we …

Cell lines from selected lepidopteran species were established for the overall purpose of
use in baculovirus production. A total of 36 new cell lines from 10 lepidopteran species were …

LaIT3, belonging to the β-KTx family, is an insecticidal peptide in the venom of the Liocheles
australasiae scorpion. Peptides in the family consist of two structural domains: an N-terminal …

Methoxyfenozide [3-methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid 2-(3, 5-dimethylbenzoyl)-2-(1, 1-
dimethylethyl) hydrazide; RH-2485], in the formulation of INTREPID, was applied to various …
