✦ Synopsis

The number and types of antibodies expressed in plants has increased steadily since the first reports of this accomplishment in the 1980s, illustrating the versatility of plants as a production system for antibodies. Many recent reviews have detailed the antibody forms that have been derived from plant expression systems. This contribution focuses on the remaining challenges to develop plant-derived therapeutic antibodies into products, and some of the progress that is being made in addressing these challenges.

Various forms of recombinant monoclonal antibodies are being used increasingly, mainly for therapeutic purposes. The isolation and engineering of the corresponding genes is becoming less of a bottleneck in the process; however, the production of recombinant antibodies is itself a limiting factor and

The increasing use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in diagnostic reagents necessitates efficient and cost-effective mAb production methods. In blood banks, one of the most routinely used reagents is the antihuman IgG reagent used for the detection of nonagglutinating antibodies. Here we report the p
