Plant Bioreactor For The Production Of Interleukin-24 Cytokine

摘要

The production of interleukin-24 (IL-24) cytokine in plants is described. A plant optimized nucleic acid molecule encoding a IL-24 polypeptide is disclosed. Also described are genetic constructs comprising a regulatory region operably linked to a plant optimized nucleic acid molecule encoding a IL-24 polypeptide. The regulatory region may be an inducible promoter. Also disclosed are methods of transforming a plant, portion thereof, or plant cell with the genetic construct and method of using a plant, a portion of a plant or a plant cell that express IL-24.
