  • Patent number: 10822628
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing sesquiterpene lactones of the thapsigargin family, the method comprising the steps of: (a) culturing plant cells of the genus Thapsia in a nutrient medium in a suspension cell culture, wherein the cells produce one or more sesquiterpene lactones of the thapsigargin family; and (b) recovering one or more sesquiterpene lactones of the thapsigargin family produced in (a). The present invention further relates to a suspension cell culture comprising plant cells of the genus Thapsia, wherein the plant cells are capable of producing one or more sesquiterpene lactones of the thapsigargin family and to a plant cell biomass comprising plant cells of the genus Thapsia obtained from said suspension cell culture.

  • Patent number: 7741539
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing heterologous glycosylated proteins in non-animal eukaryotic cells such as in transformed bryophyte, yeast, ciliate or algae cells. In particular, the method relates to a method for producing glycosylated proteins comprising animal glycosylation patterns—comprising sialic acid residues—, such as pharmaceutical proteins for use in mammals, e.g. humans, in bryophyte cells such as those of Physcomitrella patens, the genetic material required therefore, such as DNA and RNA, vectors, host cells, methods of introducing genetic material there into, and uses thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to novel polypeptides and proteins obtained by the method according to the invention. Moreover, the present invention provides a method of producing sialic acid or CMP-sialic acid in a transformed non-mammalian eukaryotic cell, tissue or organism.
