Abstract:
1. A method for expressing a leukotriene B4 receptor which comprises culturing a host infected with at least one recombinant baculovirus which contains a gene encoding an interacting protein and a gene encoding a leukotriene B4 receptor protein which interacts with said interacting protein, and co-expressing said interacting protein and said leukotriene B4 receptor protein in a budded baculovirus released from said host, and either (1) recovering a budded baculovirus released from said host, (2) recovering supernatant containing a budded baculovirus released from said host, or (3) a combination thereof, wherein the interacting protein comprises rat G protein subunits α, β, and γ, and wherein the host is an insect cell or an insect larva.
