The use virus derived vectors for the expression of proteins in plants
Kratochvílová, Kateřina ; Moravec, Tomáš (advisor) ; Holá, Dana (referee)
The tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is one of the most studied virus. Its properties (simplicity, self assembly of viral capsid, the ability to proliferate in a large variety of hosts) offers a lot of applications in various scientific or biological fields. Gene vectors based on the tobacco mosaic virus represent a very good way for expressing proteins in plants. Because the tobacco mosaic virus is well researched and a large number of his properties have already been discovered, it is used for nanotechnologic sectors in this period. Not only for the formation of nanoparticles, but also for example for a potential production of vaccines in plants. In this paper I summarize the known information about the process of self assembly of tobacco mosaic virus and the possibility of using this virus in the emerging fields of biology. Key words Tobacco mosaic virus, self assembly, viral vector, nanotechnology
