The inability to propagate HPV in vitro has led to the development of alternative approaches to antigen production for vaccine development. In the present work we describe a l ow - cost eff icient production of HPV virus - like particles (VLPs) in a non - fermentative system based on baculovirus and Trichoplusia ni ( T. ni ) insects. The L1 protein from HPV 16 was expressed by a recombinant baculovirus in larva at levels that reached 18 to 21 mg pe r g of fresh insect biomass. It represents about 2.5 times the L1 production yields obtained per g of insect cells using the same recombinant baculovirus. Under electron microscopy, purified VLPs produced in larvae were indistinguishable from those produce d in Sf - 21 insect cell cultures, presenting identical shape and size . Immunization of mice with the insect - derived VLPs induced a potent immune response similar to that obtained with insect cells - derived VLPs. The use of live insect larvae as “mini bioreac tors” opens up the possibility of cost - effective production of a vaccine against cervical cancer produced by papillomavirus, with special application in human populations where production costs restrain their use.
