Abstract
A method for producing antibodies and plant protein toxins in plant cells is described which includes the steps of providing a genetic construct to encode the secretable protein, delivering copies of the construct into a liquid suspension culture of tobacco cells, selecting for cells that have acquired the genetic construct, and allowing the desired protein to accumulate in the liquid media in which the plant cells are grown, and isolating the desired protein away from the tobacco cells.
