Assembly of an antibody and its derived antibody fragment in Nicotiana and Arabidopsis Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The yield and assembly of an IgG1 antibody and its derived F(ab) fragment were compared in Nicotiana and Arabidopsis. The results obtained showed a lot of interclonal variability. For 45% of the primary transgenic calluses, antigen-binding entities represented less than 0.1% of the total soluble protein (TSP). Only two of the 103 analysed transformants contained more than 1% of antigen-binding protein, with 1.26% being the highest yield. ...
