  • Method of producing a chimeric protein
    Patent number: 6232099
    Abstract: A method of producing a chimeric protein from ie a plant virus coding for such a protein. The method allows the production of large (ie 25 kDa) proteins which assemble with the virus in infected host cells and are arranged on the outer surface of chimeric viruses. A vector for the production of biologically useful proteins in such a manner is also disclosed.
