High Five™ Cells (BTI-TN-5B1-4) are a clonal isolate derived from the parental Trichopulsia ni cell line (cabbage looper ovary) and are commonly used for the expression of recombinant proteins using the Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS). Gibco® High Five™ Insect Cells are adapted to serum-free culture in Gibco® Express Five® SFM for maximum cell growth and recombinant gene expression. Gibco® High Five™ Insect Cells (frozen in Gibco® Express Five® SFM) feature:
• Recombinant protein expression from a variety of expression systems
• Up to ten fold increase in secreted protein expression compared to Sf9 cells
• Good growth in adherent or suspension culture
• Quality and performance testing

Recombinant protein expression from a variety of expression systems
High levels of protein expression in High Five™ cells can be obtained using either the BaculoDirect™ Baculovirus Expression System, the Bac-to-Bac® Baculovirus Expression System, or the InsectDirect® Expression System.

Up to ten fold increase in secreted protein expression compared to Sf9 cells
Gibco® High Five™ cells are the best choice for expression of secreted protein in insect cells. They consistently express 5-10 times more protein that Sf9 cells.

Good growth in adherent or suspension culture
Gibco® High Five ™ cells thaw into adherent culture, forming an irregular monolayer with plaques that may be difficult to isolate. Protocols for adherent growth can be found in Gibco® Express Five® SFM are available in the product manual. Gibco® High Five™ cells can be adapted to suspension culture.

Quality and performance testing
Each lot of Gibco® High Five ™ cells is tested for cell growth and viability post-recovery from cryopreservation. In addition, the Master Seed Bank has been tested for contamination of bacteria, yeast, mycoplasma and virus and has been characterized by isozyme and karyotype analysis.
