Bombyx mori

Bombyx mori, commonly known as the domestic silk moth, is a moth species belonging to the family Bombycidae.

See Insect cell culture and Bombyx mori

Cabbage looper

The cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) is a medium-sized moth in the family Noctuidae, a family commonly referred to as owlet moths.

See Insect cell culture and Cabbage looper

Cabbage moth

The cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae) is primarily known as a pest that is responsible for severe crop damage of a wide variety of plant species.

See Insect cell culture and Cabbage moth

Drosophila melanogaster

Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (an insect of the order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae.

See Insect cell culture and Drosophila melanogaster

Fall armyworm

The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a species in the order Lepidoptera and one of the species of the fall armyworm moths distinguished by their larval life stage.

See Insect cell culture and Fall armyworm

Prokaryote

A prokaryote (less commonly spelled procaryote) is a single-cell organism whose cell lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

See Insect cell culture and Prokaryote

Sf9 (cells)

Sf9 cells, a clonal isolate of Spodoptera frugiperda Sf21 cells (IPLB-Sf21-AE), are commonly used in insect cell culture for recombinant protein production using baculovirus.
