摘要:
A plant produced vaccine for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is provided where the Spike protein of the virus is expressed in a plant by introducing into a plant a construct comprising a promoter preferentially directing expression to seed of said plant, a nucleic acid encoding the Spike protein and a nucleic acid targeting expression to the endoplasmic reticulum of the plant. The plant expresses the 51 polypeptide at levels of at least 10 mg/kg of seed of said plant. When orally administered to an animal, a protective response is observed including a serum antibody response.
摘要:
Increased antigenicity of a membrane-bound polypeptide produced from a plant is provided in a process in which extraction of the polypeptide or other compounds from the plant is such that phospholipids are associated with the polypeptide. Reducing fat by supercritical fluid extraction increases antigenicity of such plant-produced membrane-bound polypeptides. Methods and means of producing such membrane-bound polypeptides are provided. Methods to produce a protective response in animals are provided by administering to the animal the membrane-bound polypeptide. Binding of antibody specific to the membrane-bound polypeptide is increased. The process provides for increased preferred formation of the membrane-bound polypeptide. Stability of the membrane-bound polypeptide is increased when the plant material is defatted.
摘要:
Methods of vaccination of animals are provided. In an embodiment, a paired administration of a primer vaccine provides for non-oral administration of a vaccine and an oral administration of the vaccine and can be followed by a paired administration of a booster vaccine of a non-oral administration and an oral administration. Embodiments provide the non-oral and oral administration are within three days of each other. The methods provide for improved protective response in an animal compared to administration of a primer non-oral administered vaccine followed by three booster non-oral administered vaccines. An adjuvant is provided that is a microcrystalline polysaccharide-based adjuvant derived from delta inulin.
摘要:
A method of controlling germination of seed is provided in which a nucleic acid encoding a protein which causes inhibition of germination is transformed into a plant, operably linked with a promoter that expresses during germination. The protein is one in which a restoring substance can be applied to the seed and restores germination. Also provided is an amylase germination preferred promoter.
摘要:
A Zea mays regulatory region is shown, which provides improved seed preferred, and particularly pericarp preferred expression in plants. Methods of use are also shown in preferentially expressing a heterologous protein to the pericarp tissue of a plant. The sequence is particularly useful in expression of heterologous proteins to the pericarp of monocotyledonous plants, particularly cereals, and maize.

摘要:
The invention discloses novel promoter sequences capable of expressing genes in plant cells. The promoters include engineered versions of the maize ubiquitin promoter to increase expression levels beyond those observed with the native ubiquitin promoter and alter the tissue preference. Expression constructs, vectors, transgenic plants and methods are also disclosed.
摘要:
Vaccines, methods of producing, and methods of using are provided in which a protective response to Valley Fever disease is produced when administered to an animal. The vaccine provides for expression of Coccidioides sp. Ag2 polypeptide in a plant or plant part, linked to a promoter preferentially directing expression to seed tissue of the plant or plant part. Further embodiments provide the polypeptide is targeted to the cell wall, vacuole or endoplasmic reticulum. The polypeptide may be fused to a dendritic cell targeting dendritic cell or a heat labile enterotoxin. Increased expression levels in the plant or plant part are obtained. The vaccine comprising the plant-produced Ag2 polypeptide may be a glucan chitin particle comprising the Ag2 polypeptide. The plant or plant materials in an embodiment may be orally administered.

摘要:
Saccharification of polysaccharides of plants is provided, where release of fermentable sugars from cellulose is obtained by adding plant tissue composition. Production of glucose is obtained without the need to add additional β-glucosidase. Adding plant tissue composition to a process using a cellulose degrading composition to degrade cellulose results in an increase in the production of fermentable sugars compared to a process in which plant tissue composition is not added. Using plant tissue composition in a process using a cellulose degrading enzyme composition to degrade cellulose results in decrease in the amount of cellulose degrading enzyme composition or exogenously applied cellulase required to produce fermentable sugars.
