Expression optimization of a human papillomavirus type 16 therapeutic vaccine candidate in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Do Rosario Yanez, Romana de Jesus

“…Finally, I tested the partially purified plant-produced LALF-E7 candidate, and compared it to the E. coli-produced counterpart, in tumour regression experiments using mice as animal models. Due to low antigen doses and a large number tumourigenic cells used to inoculate the mice animal models, the effect of the plant-produced LALF-E7 as a therapeutic vaccine was inconclusive. …”
