Transgenic plants expressing recombinant immunoglobulins have arisen as an alternative technology for the large-scale production of antibodies useful in therapeutics and in industrial processes. In the present paper we report the expression in transgenic tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum ) of an
The prevalence of alcohol, tobacco, and coffee use and association with liver health among North Americans with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) infection has not been well described.The Hepatitis B Research Network includes an observational study of untreated CHB Antibodies have been one of the proteins widely expressed in tobacco plants for pharmaceutical purposes, which demand contaminant free preparations. Rubisco constitutes 40-60% of tobacco leaf soluble proteins; therefore it is the major potential protein contaminant of plantibodies, while mycotoxins
Expression of Human hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) gene in plant was reported for the first time. The recombinant plasmid pRoKII-HBsAg was constructed by inserting HBsAg gene into the downstream of CaMV 35S promoter of binary vector pRoKII and then introduced into Agrobacterium
The plasmids carrying the gene encoding the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) under the control of 35S RNA single or dual promoters of the cauliflower mosaic virus CaMV 35S were constructed. These constructions were used for obtaining transgenic tobacco plants that synthesize the HBS antigen. The
Six different expression cassettes of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were used to transform tobacco cell suspension cultures. The transgenic nature of the cells was confirmed by PCR. The secreted HBsAg was assayed by ELISA and analyzed by Western blotting. A maximum of 31 microg antigen/l was
Hepatitis B virus ' s ' gene coding for surface antigen was cloned into plant transformation vectors pHER100 and pHBs100 with and without endoplasmic reticulum retention signal, respectively. Transformed tobacco cell lines were analyzed for the integration of the transgene by PCR and Southern blot
Tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking histories were obtained from 194 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 456 hospital controls, and the results were analysed in conjunction with the results of serological determinations of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibody to HBsAg
A recently introduced enzyme immunoassay procedure for antibodies against the hepatitis-C virus (HCV) was used to test samples from 185 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 432 hospital controls. The anti-HCV results were examined in conjunction with previously reported data from this study
The application of bioengineering to plants for production of biological products for human and animal use has expanded in recent years. The reasons for this expansion are several and include advances in the technology for novel production systems and the need for very large quantities of
A novel plant-based vaccine protecting against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) was developed by inserting the VP21 epitope into the internal region of the hepatitis B virus core antigen gene (HBcAg). The specific sequence of the VP21 epitope is located within the VP1 capsid protein of the FMD virus
The recombinant human monoclonal antibody (MAb) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) was expressed in tobacco suspension cultures. The parental CL4MAb was produced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed human cell line TAPC301-CL4. The CL4MAb cDNA was introduced into tobacco
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to produce HBcAg from plants more cheaply than can be done by other currently available means, and to apply such antigen to immunoassay procedures for pretransfusion testing of donor blood.
METHODS
Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cv. SR-1 plants expressing the human hepatitis B
An anti-Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) single chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragment was expressed in Nicotiana tabacum transgenic plants. The 6-histidine tagged scFv was targeted to either the cytosol, apoplast, and vacuole, or for retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. Expression of active
Context: The co-delivery of adjuvant and antigen has shown to be more effective for targeting the immune response than antigen alone. Therefore, designing an efficient bicistronic system is more assuring for production of both elements in the same tobacco cells as a plant model system.
