Résumé

Given the complex maturation requirements of viral glycoproteins and the challenge they often pose for expression in plants, the identification of host constraints precluding their efficient production is a priority for the molecular farming of vaccines. Building on previous work to improve viral glycoprotein production in plants, we investigated the production of a soluble SARS-CoV-2 spike comprising the ectopic portion of the glycoprotein. This was successfully transiently expressed in

Déclaration de conflit d'intérêts

EM, RC, AM, A-LW, and ER have filed a series of patent applications encompassing approaches to produce viral glycoproteins in plants, including for SARS-CoV-2: US 2019/0337994 A1, WO 2018 220,595 A1, PA174002_PCT, and PA2106659.4. AM and ER are shareholders in Cape Bio Pharms (SA) Pty. Ltd., a molecular farming company in Cape Town. The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
