Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods of producing a therapeutic plant antibody or fragment thereof, which is produced in a plant or plant cell to provide a plant antibody or fragment thereof that is unable to substantially cross the placenta if administered to a pregnant mother, but that if produced in a mammal or mammalian cell may cross the placenta and potentially result in damage to a foetus or newborn if administered to a pregnant mother, and so is suitable for use in pregnant subjects. The therapeutic plant antibody can also be used in compositions and medicaments for treating various conditions.
Abstract:
Monoclonal antibodies produced in plants at high levels wherein elimination of L chain glycans improves plasma stability of certain plant derived bnAbs are provided. Monoclonal antibodies produced in plants which exhibit no or reduced immunogenicity after multiple injections are provided. Methods of production of the foregoing are provided. Methods of determining immunogenicity assessing the immunogenicity and neutralizing ability of the same are provided. Methods of treating HIV using monoclonal antibodies produced in plants are also provided.
