Abstract

 

Plantibody is a plant derived antibody, which has been produced by genetically engineered plants. Antibodies which have proven itself as an important part of immune system in many organism’s act by recognizing viral antigens and other dangerous compounds and signal a response to it. In plant body formation, antibody coding genes from mammals will be inserted into plant’s genome, where they function same as natural mammalian antibodies. In plants, these antibodies produce large amount of viable proteins by action of endomembrane and secretory system of these antibodies. Later, these can be extracted from plant tissues for humans use or can be administered as such in the form of edible vaccine. Thus, plants can be used as source for human antibody production by recombinant technology.

 

Keywords: Antibodies, coding, genome, recombinant technology, viable protein
