Please find the following protocol:

Baculovirus Transfection Using Calcium Chloride

1. Seed 2 million Sf9 cells into a 25 cm2 T-flask and allow cells
to attach for at least 1 hr.

2. Mix 1 μg of the insect baculovirus vector AcMNPV linear viral
DNA and 2 μg of recombinant plasmid DNA in a snap cap
polypropylene tube.

3. Prepare 5 ml of HEBS/CT by combining 0.5 ml of 10X HEBS,
75 μl of sonicated calf thymus DNA, 4.425 ml of ddH2O and
adjust the pH to 7.05 to 7.1 with 0.1 M NaOH. Filter sterilize
and allow the solution to come to room temperature before
use.

4. Add 950 μl of HEBS/CT to the DNA mixture and mix by
vortexing.

5. Add 50 μl of 2.5 M CaCl2 to the DNA/HEBS/CT mixture
drop-wise with constant mixing.

6. Incubate at room temperature for 30 min.

7. Remove the media from the tissue culture T-flask and replace
it with 2 ml of Complete Grace's Insect Medium.

8. Add DNA precipitate solution to the cell culture flask
drop-wise with mixing and incubate at 37°C for 4 hr.

9. Remove the Grace's media from the flask. and rinse the cells
once with Complete Grace's Insect Media.

10. Remove the Grace's Insect Media and replace it with
Complete TNM-FH Insect Media.

11. Incubate at 27°C for 3 to 6 days, looking for signs of
infection daily. Some protocols state that the infection
takes only 2 days, but with this protocol it actually takes
longer.

12. Harvest the supernatant when the cells are ready and store
the transfection supernatant at 4°C.
