[Transformation of full-length gene of mouse/human chimeric antibody against Hantaan virus into Arabidopsis thaliana].

AIM: To construct the transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana containing full-length gene of mouse/human chimeric antibody(3G1MH) against Hantaan virus. METHODS: The recombinant plasmid 3G1MH-pCAMBIA2301 was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 by TSS freeze-thaw method, and then the recombinant was transferred into wild Arabidopsis thaliana by vacuum-transgenic method. The regenerated transgenic plants were selected with kanamycin, and confirmed by PCR and Northern blot. RESULTS: PCR result showed stable integration of the 3G1MH gene IN Arabidopsis thaliana genome in 7 stains of the transformed plants. Northern blot analyses confirmed the transcription of heavy and light chains in the transgenic plants. CONCLUSION: The successful establishment of 3G1MH transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants pave the way for further research on expressing therapeutic antibody in transgenic plants.
