Eukaryotic nuclei are subdivided into subnuclear structures. Among the most prominent of these structures are the nucleolus and the PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). PML-NBs are spherical multiprotein aggregates of varying size localized in the interchromosomal area. PML-NB formation is dependent on the

Plants offer a unique combination of advantages for the production of valuable recombinant proteins in a relatively short time. For instance, a variety of diagnostic tests have been developed that use recombinant antigens expressed in plants. The envelope glycoprotein gp51 encoded by Bovine leukemia

Plants show great potential for producing recombinant proteins in a cost-effective manner. Many strategies have therefore been employed to express high levels of recombinant proteins in plants. Although foreign domains are fused to target proteins for high expression or as an affinity tag for

The approved therapeutic interferons, which are chiefly indicated for a treatment of hepatitis C or hairy cell leukaemia (IFN-α), relapsingl remitting sclerosis multiplex (IFN-β) and chronic granulomatous disease (IFN-γ), are commercially produced by recombinant DNA technology, mainly in bacteria

Cationic anti-microbial peptides (CAPs) have an important role in host innate defense against pathogens such as bacteria and fungi. Many CAPs including defensins also exhibit selective cytotoxic activity towards mammalian cells via both apoptotic and non-apoptotic processes, and are being
