Harnessing the manufacturing power of the plant system : production of recombinant human interleukin-2 in Nicotiana benthamiana
Various expression systems are employed for the mass production of recombinant proteins to be used for pharmaceutical, diagnostic and industrial purposes. In this thesis, I have explored the feasibility of producing recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the green tissues of transgenic Nicotiana …
