- Abstract
- A human antiviral monoclonal antibody (mAb) expressed in transgenic tobacco plants was purified from the tobacco leaf by two different methods. In one method, total protein precipitated with ammonium Sulfate was applied to a Hi-Trap protein A column (column method). fit the second method, leaf supernatant obtained after liquid nitrogen leaf grinding was directly immunoprecipitated using protein A-agarose beads (immunoprecipitation method). The column and immunoprecipitation methods yielded 0.52 and 0.45 mug of plant-derived mAb (mAb(P))/g, respectively, from fresh leaf tissue. The product derived using the column method exhibited higher binding activity compared to immunoprecipitatioil-derived product against rabies virus strain CVS-11 in ELISA. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis, which has a detection limit of 5 pg revealed no detectable levels of nicotine or other related plant alkaloids ill the Purified mAb(P) from either purification procedure. Thus, both purification methodologies yield mAb(P) uncontaminated with nicotine from the tobacco leaves. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
