In this article we will discuss about the production of recombinant antibodies in transgenic plants. Antibodies are complex glycoproteins that recognise and bind to target antigen with high specificity (Fig. 16.2 or Fig. 16.3). Antibody production is restricted only to animals (mammals). Antibodies are used in diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. The productions of antibodies in plants are popularly [...]
In this article we will discuss about the genetic approach of molecular farming. One of the key objectives in molecular farming is the production of recombinant proteins at high yields. To accomplish high yield, expression construct must optimise every stages of gene expression, i.e., from transcription to protein stability. For high-level transcription, promoter and poly adenylation site, which are often [...]
In this article we will discuss about the ideal choices of farming for the production of plant systems. 1. Leafy Crops: Tobacco has been established as a model system for molecular farming and is the most ideal choice for the production of pharmaceutical products. The main advantages of tobacco includes to the clarity of technology for gene transfer in vitro [...]
