'Molecular farming' may provide source of vaccine components.
2003 AUG 13 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- 'Molecular farming' may provide a source of vaccine components.
According to recent research from Germany, "'Molecular farming' is the production of valuable recombinant proteins in transgenic organisms on an agricultural scale. While plants have long been used as a source of medicinal compounds, molecular farming represents a novel source of molecular medicines, such as plasma proteins, enzymes, growth factors, vaccines, and recombinant antibodies, whose medical benefits are understood at a molecular level. Until recently, the broad use of molecular medicines was limited because of the difficulty in producing these proteins outside animals or animal cell culture."
"The application of molecular biology and plant biotechnology in the 1990s showed that many molecular medicines or vaccines could be synthesized in plants and this technology is termed 'molecular farming'," said Stefan Schillberg and collaborators at the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology and the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology. "It results in pharmaceuticals that are safer, easier to produce and less expensive than those produced in animals or microbial culture."
"An advantage of molecular farming lies in the ...
