Abstract

The present invention describes modified baculoviruses possessing unique restriction endonuclease cleavage sites downstream of the promoter of the baculovirus viral inclusion, polyhedron and/or protein P10 genes and a method for obtaining such modified baculoviruses. Such modified baculoviruses are useful for the direct cloning of heterologous DNA into the unique endonuclease restriction sites and the consequent expression of the heterologous DNA inserted therein.
