Advances in the production of antibodies in plants
Angelis, Karel ; Šmídková, Markéta
Plants are the oldest biotechnological production system and as eukaryots have advantage over bacteria to modify expressed proteins. Laboratory model plants like tobacco along with crop plants with established logistics for harvest and storage like potatoes or rice are used for production of desired proteins. Current trend is to replace soil grown plants with liquid cultures of plant cells grown under controlled conditions. In this respect the moss Physcomitrella patens besides ability to grow in liquid culture enables due to efficient homologous recombination to modify posttranslational glycosylation to correspond human. For heterologous expression in plants, recombinant, single-chain molecules composed of only variable VL and VH regions of the original antibody forming binding pocket are constructed and expressed. Recombinant scFv antibodies are then used as a part of therapeutic or diagnostic drugs in oncology.
