Highlights
A platform for rapid expression of genes through agro-infiltration is a suitable alternative to the laborious process of generating stable transgenic lines for producing recombinant immunogenic antigens in plants.
This study has successfully developed and demonstrated a reproducible transformation protocol for rapid expression of
Helicobacter pylori
recombinant
CagA, VacA
and
NapA
antigens in
Nicotiana benthamiana
.
This is the first study of recombinant expression
CagA, VacA
and
NapA
gene of
Helicobacter pylori
in
Nicotiana benthamiana
via syringe-assisted A
grobacterium
infiltration.
A syringe infiltration of a four to five weeks old
Nicotiana benthamiana
plant with
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
subtype EHA105 was optimal to produce the maximum mRNA levels of
CagA, VacA
and
NapA
mRNA in leaf at the third-day post-Agro-infiltration.
