The silk derived from the silkworm has of great economic value and recently has used as value-added biomaterials for biopharmaceutical purpose. Silkworms have attracted the attention for expressing eukaryotic recombinant proteins, which require post-translational modifications. In 1985 Dr. Maeda demonstrated that silkworm larvae could produce a functional human α-interferon. Since then, to express recombinant proteins in silkworm various technologies have been developed. Baculovirus-based expression system (BES) comes foremost and has been used in for a long time. Baculovirus being the ideal vector carrying the desired cDNA of interest does not infect nor cause any known disease to humans or other livestock other than its host. The BES was suitable for expressing recombinant proteins in insect cells using Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). However, in the case of the silkworm, since Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) has limited host cells and genetic manipulation kits, silkworm has not been easily used for protein production using BmNPV, but mainly silk production. Today’s biotechnology-based industry using silkworm faces a bottleneck towards further advancement owing to the lack of proper gene expression systems. However, with the development of BmNPV bacmid system, being capable of replicating in both Escherichia coli and Bombyx mori-derived cell lines or silkworm, silkworm larvae or pupae have been used for expression system for the recombinant protein production. This method utilizes the advantage of a bacmid it can be easily prepared and screened in E. coli to produce sufficient DNA for subsequent expression in silkworms. This would be a great breakthrough in the production of recombinant eukaryotic proteins and viruses, which will be a powerful tool in a new proteome era. This volume provides comprehensive up to date review about recent and future trends of silkworm biotechnology and potential pharmaceutical applications, aiming at contributing in the field of life science and bioindustry. This volume consisted of three parts. In Part I Silkworm biology and physiology, genetics, breeding, posttranslational iv Silkworm Biofactory: Silk to Biology modification and glycoprotein pathway of silkworm are dealt in Chapters 1 to 6. In Part II Utilization of silkworm as a biofactory, new expression system, transgenic silkworm, expression of membrane proteins, virus-like particles and gene delivery are described in Chapters 7 to 13. In Part III Bioproducts from silkworm, bioproducts or the recombinant proteins from silkworm that nearby may be commercialized are introduced in Chapters 14 to 17. This volume begins with an overview of the fundamental research about the silkworm biofactory and extended to the wide applications for the large-scale expression of foreign genes.

Introduction Genomics is the basis for all researches, and no research in modern biology and biotechnology can be performed without genomic information. Currently the whole-genome sequences of several organisms are being made public and can be obtained from public databases for use in biological research. The first draft of the genome sequence of Bombyx mori (strain p50T), the domesticated silkworm, was published in 2004 by the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences in collaboration with other Japanese researchers (Mita et al. 2004). In the same year, a Chinese group independently published their draft sequence of B. mori strain Dazao, which was originally classified as the same strain as p50T. Later, both groups collaborated and exchanged raw sequence data in order to eventually produce a high- accuracy genome sequence containing new gene models (International Silkworm Genome Consortium 2008). The silkworm genome analysis is a major contribution to basic biology. The silkworm is a representative insect of the order Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), and the first species of the Lepidopterans to have a completely sequenced genome. Its genomic information is valuable not only for comparative genomic studies on insects and animals but also as the basis of studies on biological phenomena, such as morphogenesis, complicated pigmentation patterns and metamorphosis, unique to Laboratory of Insect Genetics and Bioscience, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Tokyo, Yayoi 1-1-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8657, Japan.
