IMV B-7280 (separately) and a composition of VKL/ VKB/ IMV B-7280 are effective at decreasing the weight of obese mice, decreasing cholesterol level, restoring the liver morphology and beneficially modulating the gut microbiome in high-calorie-induced obesity.
To analyze a novel plant species as a host for obtaining recombinant proteins via transient gene expression. Methods. Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression, protein analysis, statistical data processing. Results. N. cavicola plants demonstrate good biotechnological characteristics; they are susceptible to agrobacterial infection and plant viruses. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and human interferon alpha were produced in N. cavicola after transient gene expression using two different vector systems. The level of recombinant proteins depended on the gene and the system used. GFP content reached 6.0 % and 12.6 % TSP (0.44 mg/g FW). The interferon antiviral activity of the leaf extracts was 840 IU/g FW and 1710 IU/g FW. Conclusion. Here we propose N. cavicola species as a novel host for obtaining recombinant proteins which can be used as an alternative to the N. benthamiana host.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
