Abstract
The insecticidal activity of scorpion neurotoxic polypeptides increased 5-10-fold with no apparent increase in mammalian toxicity when a combination of two toxins was injected. Synergistic combinations could be predicted from binding studies and competitive displacement assays. Our results indicate that simultaneous expression in baculovirus or other transgenic organisms of the synergistic combinations of insecticidal toxins may result in more potent insect-selective biopesticides.Entities:
