Abstract
The invention features nucleic acid constructs and related methods useful for the high level expression of a heterologous protein in a cell, e.g., an insect cell. The constructs include an enhancer-like sequence located upstream from the polyhedrin gene locus in the genome of baculovirus, which sequence enhances the activity of an operably linked promoter.
