Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human α1-proteinase inhibitor (α1-PI) is the most abundant serine protease inhibitor in the blood and the heterologous expression of recombinant α1-PI has great potential for possible therapeutic applications. However, stability and functional efficacy of the recombinant protein expressed in alternate hosts are of major concern. METHODS: Five variants of plant-expressed recombinant α1-PI protein were...
