ABSTRACT:
A recombinant baculovirus which, in insect cells infected therewith, expresses a foreign protein comprising an insecticidal toxin, or a functional derivative thereof, provided with a signal peptide such that the toxin or derivative thereof is secreted from the insect cells. This recombinant baculovirus can be used in insect control.
