Commercial Plant-Produced Recombinant Protein Products: Case Studies (Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry Book 68)

"Attention has recently turned to using plants as hosts for the production of commercially important proteins. The twelve case studies in this volume present successful strategies for using plants to produce industrial and pharmaceutical proteins and vaccine antigens. They examine in detail projects that have commercial potential or products that have already been commercialized, illustrating the advantages that plants offer over bacterial, fungal or animal cell-culture hosts. There are many indications that plant protein production marks the beginning of a new paradigm for the commercial production of proteins that, over the next decade, will expand dramatically."--Page 4 of cover Front Matter....Pages i-xii Introduction: Plant-Produced Protein Products....Pages 1-11 Front Matter....Pages 13-13 Commercial Plant-Produced Recombinant Avidin....Pages 15-25 Molecular Farming in Plants: The Long Road to the Market....Pages 27-41 TrypZeanTM: An Animal-Free Alternative to Bovine Trypsin....Pages 43-63 Production of Pharmaceutical Grade Recombinant Native Aprotinin and Non-oxidized Aprotinin Variants Under Greenhouse and Field Conditions....Pages 65-80 Front Matter....Pages 81-81 Influenza Virus-Like Particles Produced in Nicotiana benthamiana Protect Against a Lethal Viral Challenge in Mice....Pages 83-102 Plant-Produced Recombinant Transmission Blocking Vaccine Candidates to Combat Malaria....Pages 103-133 An Oral Vaccine for TGEV Immunization of Pigs....Pages 135-152 Edible Rabies Vaccines....Pages 153-177 Newcastle Disease Vaccines....Pages 179-195 An Oral Vaccine for Hepatitis B: Challenges, Setbacks, and Breakthroughs....Pages 197-228 Front Matter....Pages 229-229 Commercial Plant-Produced Recombinant Cellulases for Biomass Conversion....Pages 231-246 Brazzein: A High-Intensity Natural Sweetener....Pages 247-257 Front Matter....Pages 259-259 The Future of Plant-Produced Pharmaceuticals and Industrial Proteins....Pages 261-274 Back Matter....Pages 275-281 This book is geared for advanced level research in the general subject area of remote sensing and modeling as they apply to the coastal marine environment. The various chapters focus on the latest scientific and technical advances in the service of better understanding coastal marine environments for their care, conservation, and management. Chapters specifically deal with advances in remote sensing coastal classifications, environmental monitoring, digital ocean technological advances, geophysical methods, geoacoustics, X-band radar, risk assessment models, GIS applications, real-time modeling systems, and spatial modeling. Readers will find this book useful because it summarizes applications of new research methods in one of the world?s most dynamic and complicated environments. Chapters in this book will be of interest to specialists in the coastal marine environment who deal with aspects of environmental monitoring and assessment via remote sensing techniques and numerical modeling It begins with contributions on the tomato and melon genome sequence, databases for Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae research, DNA markers in the breeding of the two families, and mutant resources and TILLING platforms in tomato research.
