Abstract

A method for producing antibodies in plant cells including the steps of providing a genetic construct that encodes a secretable mammalian single chain antibody, delivering copies of the construct into a liquid suspension culture of tobacco cells, selecting for cells that have acquired the genetic construct, allowing the antibody to accumulate in the liquid to a concentration over 25 mg/l and isolating the antibody away from the tobacco cells.
