| Popis: | Numerous monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that recognize and neutralize infectious pathogens have been isolated and developed over the years. The fact that infectious diseases can involve large populations of infected individuals is an important factor that has motivated the search for both cost-effective and scalable methods of antibody production. The current technologies for production of antibodies in plants allow for very rapid expression and evaluation that can also be readily scaled for multikilogram production runs. In addition, recent progress in manipulating glycosylation in plant production systems has allowed for the evaluation of antibodies containing glycans that are nearly homogeneous, are mammalian in structure, and have enhanced neutralizing capabilities. Among the anti-infectious disease antibodies that have been produced in plants are included those intended for prevention or treatment of anthrax, Clostridium perfringens , Ebola virus, human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex virus, rabies, respiratory syncytial virus, staphylococcal enterotoxin, West Nile virus, and tooth decay. Animal and human efficacy data for these MAbs are discussed. |
