Transient expression of the cancer/testis cancer antigen NY-ESO-1 in Nicotiana benthamiana using a PVX-based viral vector
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cancer/testis antigens is a group of proteins which expression is usually restricted to the human germ line but is also present at high levels in several types of cancer cells [1]. The antigen NY-ESO-1 is one of these antigens showing high immunogenicity and, therefore, holding great potential for a cancer vaccine [2]. Its heterologous expression is being tested in different expression systems, although the success has been limited [2,3]. In this report we used a transient expression system based on a PVX viral vector to evaluate the expression of NY-ESO-1 in leaves of Nicotiana benthamina.

Transient expression of proteins in plants has become a choice to facilitate recombinant protein production with its fast and easy application. On the other hand, host defensive mechanisms have been reported to reduce the efficiency of transient expression in plants. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of cap analog and Potato virus A helper component proteinase (PVA HC-Pro) o...

Background: The potential of plants, as a safe and eukaryotic system, is considered in the production of recombinant therapeutic human protein today; but the expression level of heterologous proteins is limited by the post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) response in this new technology. The use of viral suppressors of gene silencing can prevent PTGS and improve transient expression level ...

NY-ESO-1 is a cancer/testis antigen expressed in normal adult tissues solely in the testicular germ cells of normal adults and in various cancers. It induces specific humoral and cellular immunity in patients with NY-ESO-1-expressing cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of NY-ESO-1 mRNA and protein expression in malignant and benign breast tumors. NY-ESO-1 mRNA expressio...

Cancer testis (CT) antigens are particularly interesting candidates for cancer vaccines. However, T-cell reactivity to CT antigens has been detected only occasionally in cancer patients, even after vaccination. A new group of CT antigens has been recently identified using the SEREX technique based on immunoscreening of tumor cDNA expression libraries with autologous sera. We have used fluoresce...
