  • Will Plant-Based Vaccines Be the Answer?
    Review Combating Human Viral Diseases: Will Plant-Based Vaccines Be the Answer? Srividhya Venkataraman 1,*, Kathleen Hefferon 1, Abdullah Makhzoum 2 and Mounir Abouhaidar 1 1 Virology Laboratory, Department of Cell & Systems Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3B2, Canada; [email protected] (K.H.); [email protected] (M.A.) 2 Department of Biological Sciences & Biotechnology, Botswana International University of Science & Technology, Palapye, Botswana; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Molecular pharming or the technology of application of plants and plant cell culture to manufacture high-value recombinant proteins has progressed a long way over the last three decades. Whether generated in transgenic plants by stable expression or in plant virus-based transient ex- pression systems, biopharmaceuticals have been produced to combat several human viral diseases that have impacted the world in pandemic proportions. Plants have been variously employed in expressing a host of viral antigens as well as monoclonal antibodies. Many of these biopharmaceuti- cals have shown great promise in animal models and several of them have performed successfully in clinical trials. The current review elaborates the strategies and successes achieved in generating plant-derived vaccines to target several virus-induced health concerns including highly commu- nicable infectious viral diseases. Importantly, plant-made biopharmaceuticals against hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), the cancer-causing virus human papillomavirus (HPV), human Citation: Venkataraman, S.; immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza virus, zika virus, and the emerging respiratory virus, Hefferon, K.; Makhzoum, A.; Abouhaidar, M. Combating Human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been discussed.

While significant progress has been made for the containment grown (plant cell culture) production of PMPs, with the first regulatory approval made by the FDA in 2012, the commercialization of medicinal or industrial products produced in the field has yet to emerge in either Europe or the US. In the current paper, we discribe the regulatory environment in Europe and the US surrounding GM crops, and provide case studies for experimental field releases of PMP and PMI producing plants in both regions. Suggestions for reducing the regulatory burden for GM plants will be discussed, also in light of the emerging new technologies to modify the genetics of plants.

    Pharmaceutical Review 3 Review Single-use perfusion bioreactors support continuous biomanufacturing Pharm. Bioprocess. The field of biomanufacturing employs many single-use (SU) systems for features such William (Bill) G Whitford as lower initial investment and reduced time-to-market. Continuous manufacturing GE Healthcare, Cell Culture, 925 West methods can provide increased product quality and process control, and reduced 1800 South, Logan, UT 84321, USA [email protected] operating costs. Continuous biomanufacturing (CB) additionally promises reduced classified area extent, personnel requirements and operating steps. The benefits of SU CB include heightened processing parameter consistency and increased process flexibility. Perfusion culture (PC) is supported by many specialized SU and hybrid bioreactors. These and many accessory perfusion-enabling technologies are the main way of implementing upstream CB. Valuable features provided by PC include reduced product reactor-residency and increased reactor-volumetric productivity. SU PC supports the dream of enterprise managed, modular, end-to-end integrated and closed CB providing higher environmental sustainability. Single-use systems bioreactor harvest [11] .

  • Molecular Farming on Rescue of Pharma Industry for Next Generations
    1 Molecular farming on rescue of pharma industry for next generations Khaled Moustafa*, Abdullah Makhzoum, Jocelyne Trémouillaux-Guiller Abstract Recombinant proteins expressed in plants have been emerged as a novel branch of the biopharmaceutical industry, offering practical and safety advantages over traditional approaches. Cultivable in various platforms (i.e. open field, greenhouses or bioreactors), plants hold great potential to produce different types of therapeutic proteins with reduced risks of contamination with human and animal pathogens. To maximize the yield and quality of plant-made pharmaceuticals, crucial factors should be taken into account, including host plants, expression cassettes, subcellular localization, posttranslational modifications, and protein extraction and purification methods. DNA technology and genetic transformation methods have also great parts of substantial improvements. To play their proper function and stability, proteins require multiple post-translational modifications such as glycosylation. Intensive glycoengineering researches have been performed to reduce the immunogenicity of recombinant proteins produced in plants. Important strategies have also been developed to minimize proteolysis effects and enhance protein accumulation. With growing human population and new epidemic threats, the need to new medications will be paramount that the traditional pharma industry wouldn’t afford alone for upcoming generations. Here, we review several aspects of plant molecular pharming and outline some important challenges that hamper this ambitious biotechnology. Keywords: molecular farming; molecular pharming; plant made pharmaceuticals; recombinant proteins; plant glycans; plant molecular farming; genetically modified plant; PMF; PMF; molecular farming applications; protein stability; therapeutic drug. 1 Introduction Plant molecular pharming/farming (PMP/PMF) refers to the production of therapeutic proteins in genetically modified (GM) plant materials.

Nuclear transformation is most suitable and well-studied of all, biolistic transformation technology removes the need of vectors, but targeting is compromised. Stability of recombinant DNA can be maintained by over-expression of desired protein and optimization is achieved by the selection of suitable promoter, expression either stable or transient have utility. Finishing is done by downstream processing maximum protein extraction, cost- effective processing with purification is yet a goal to be achieved. Keywords: Vaccines; Plant factories; Biopharming; Recombinant active immunity are called edible or green vaccines [12].
