  • Expression in plants of HIV-related proteins
    Publication number: 20120121635
    Abstract: Plants are engineered to express HIV related surface protein genes. The plants can be used as a source of the protein for a variety of purposes. Plant tissue can be orally administered to animals to elicit an immune response or provide protection from viral infection. The protein can be extracted and delivered to animals. Plant produced proteins can also provide a less expensive and more readily available source of the protein as reagents or in other experimentation involving HIV and SIV proteins.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 9, 2011
    Publication date: May 17, 2012
    Applicant: PRODIGENE, INC.
    Inventors: Michael Horn, Stephen Streatfiled, Joseph Jilka
  • Commercial production of insulin and insulin-like proteins in plants
    Publication number: 20080242848
    Abstract: Plants are engineered to express proinsulin or insulin. The plants can be used as a source of the protein for a variety of purposes. Plant tissue can be orally administered to animals to replace the necessity of injection of insulin. Alternatively, the protein can be extracted from plant tissue and delivered to animals. Plant produced proteins can also provide a less expensive and more readily available source of the protein as reagents or in other experimentation involving insulin proteins.
