Expression of a functional anti-cucumber mosaic virus single-chain variable fragment antibody in tobacco plants (nacotiana tabacum)
As an alternative method to produce low cost reagents for immunodiagnosis and protect the plants from viral disease, a gene encoding a single chain variable fragment(scFv) recombinant antibody targeted to the coat protein of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was expressed in Nacotiana tabacum. The source...
