Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for production of an oligomeric protein in eukaryotic cells by co-expression of two fusion proteins in eukaryotic cells comprising a protein-S-Tag fusion protein, wherein the protein is an antigen or an antibody, and a S-protein-tail piece (tp) fusion protein. Furthermore the present invention relates to an oligomeric protein comprising at least a protein-S-Tag fusion protein and a S-protein-tail piece (tp) fusion protein, wherein the protein of the protein-S-Tag fusion protein is an antigen or an antibody, and the use in vaccines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a DNA sequence coding for a synthetic protein and recombinant spider silk proteins which are coded by the inventive DNA sequence. The invention also relates to methods for producing plants or plant cells containing the recombinant spider silk protein and transgenic plants and cells containing a DNA sequence coding for a synthetic spider protein. The invention further relates to a method for obtaining a vegetable spider silk protein from transgenic plants in addition to vegetable spider silk proteins produced according to said method.

Abstract: Process for production of herbicide-tolerant plants by expressing an exogenous herbicide-binding polypeptide in plants or plant organs. The invention furthermore relates to the use of the corresponding nucleic acids which encode a polypeptide, an antibody or parts of an antibody with herbicide-binding properties in transgenic plants, and the thus transformed plant itself.

Abstract: The invention relates to cassettes for the expression of storable gene products in leaves and specifically in seeds, especially single-chain antibody fragments in leaves and seeds of transgenic tobacco and pea plants. The fields of application of the invention are biotechnology, medicine (diagnosis and therapy), foodstuffs and plant control and agriculture. The expression cassette of the invention comprises constitutive or seed-specific promoters, the LeB4 signal peptide, a gene to be expressed and an ER retention signal. Preference is given to an expression cassette containing the CaMV 35S promoter as the constitutive promoter, the gene for a single-chain antibody fragment as the gene and the amino acid sequence KDEL as the ER retention signal.
