Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method of producing an influenza virus H5 polypeptide in a plant comprising the steps of cloning an influenza H5 gene or nucleic acid encoding its functional equivalent into a vector adapted to target components present in the plant, infiltrating at least a portion of the plant with the vector or transforming plant tissue with the vector so as to transiently express the influenza virus H5 polypeptide, and/or to create a transgenic plant; and recover the influenza virus H5 polypeptide expressed by the plant. The invention further relates to vectors, transgenic plants or parts thereof and the progeny of such plants used in or which come about as a result of the method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing an influenza virus haemagglutinin 5(H5) polypeptide in a plant comprising the steps of: cloning an influenza virus H5 gene or nucleic acid encoding a functional equivalent thereof into a vector containing a targeting sequence to target a polypeptide expressed in the cytoplasm to components present in the plant, wherein the plant components are selected from the group consisting of endoplasmic reticuli and apoplasts; infiltrating…
