Recombinant Proteins from Plants (Methods in Biotechnology)

This authoritative collection of basic and advanced protocols permits biotechnologists to use plants rather than single cell fermentation systems for expressing recombinant proteins. The protocols provide clear step-by-step instructions for the cloning, expression, and analysis of a wide variety of recombinant proteins in plants, and for the cloning of genes into a number of different plant species. The book also describes promising experimental techniques that will become increasingly important in the future, and includes techniques for the characterization of medically important proteins expressed in plants.
