What is it about?

Cloning of full-length light and heavy immunoglobulin A chains, as well as the variable regions of these chains into the genomic sequence of a plant virus, for the high-level expression of reconstituted, active antibody

Why is it important?

Because the production of specific highly functional antibodies could be scaled up to high-level production using plants and the appropriately constructed virus vectors

Perspectives

Plants can host the production of high-level amounts of recombinant therapeutic proteins, including antibodies, with the proper eukaryotic decoration
