General HIV InformationHIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a virus that destroys specific blood cells, T cells, which help the body fight disease. People who are infected with HIV may or may not show symptoms. Approximately 35 million people are living with HIV according to the World Health Organization in 2011.
Plantibodies Plantibody—plant-derived antibodiesProducing recombinant proteins in plants has many advantages for generating biopharmaceuticals that are relevant to medicine. Large scale production of antibodies in plants is more cost effective than using mammalian cells.Edible vaccines can bypass the purification of the antibody.
Tobacco-Derived HIV-Neutralizing Antibody Two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with HIV neutralizing activity, mAbs 2F5 and mAbs 2G12, have been expressed in plants.Doreen Floss and colleagues conducted an experiment that produced the 2G12 antibody in transgenic tobacco plants.Transgenic tobacco plants were generated accumulating four different formats of the anti-HIV-1 antibody 2G12 in the ER.The plant-derived 2G12 antibodies showed the same or better in vitro HIV-neutralization properties as CHO-derived 2G12 antibodies.

Floss et al.Conclusion Kinetic binding parameters of the tobacco-derived 2G12 antibody formats were identical to the 2G12 produced in CHO cells that lack ELP. Purification of the protein from seed by inverse transition cycling (ITC) did not affect the binding kineticsRetrieval to the ER was efficient for the four formats and was seen after analysis of the heavy chain N-glycans from the antibodies derived from leaves.HIV-neutralization properties of the tobacco 2G12 antibody was the same as or better than the CHO 2G12 antibody.
