Rapid production in maize seedlings of the Ag85B antigen of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis using an Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression system

Recent research progress in the plant contribution to the management of tuberculosis

“…The early secretory antigenic target‐6 (ESAT‐6) was produced in Nicotiana tabacum (Saba et al, 2019), the Alanine‐ and Proline‐rich Antigen was obtained in the same species (Módolo et al, 2018), while N‐glycosylated antigen 85A (G‐Ag85A) was expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana (Kim et al, 2020). Maize seedlings were also used as biofactory for the production of the Ag85B antigen (Rojas et al, 2020).…”
