Expressing recombinant human lactoferrin with antibacterial activity in Nicotiana benthamiana
17 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Lactoferrin is a non-hematic iron-binding 80-kDa protein that exhibits antimicrobial activity. Higher plants function as “green bioreactors” for large-scale recombinant protein production. In this study, we transiently expressed recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF) in Nicotiana benthamiana at a yield of approximately 40 µg g−1 fresh mass (gFM) using the Tsukuba system. Additionally, the expression level of rhLF...
