  • Title: Transient Expression of Viral Proteins in Plants Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
    Author: Hitzeroth II, van Zyl AR.
    Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2016; 1404():581-595. PubMed ID: 27076324.
    Abstract:
    Transient expression of viral proteins in plants is a novel alternative to other expression platforms. The viral proteins can be used as potential vaccines or in diagnostics. Nicotiana benthamiana leaves or whole plants are infiltrated with recombinant Agrobacterium that harbor the gene of interest. Protein expression in the plants is rapid and results are obtained within 2-7 days. Here we describe how to make electrocompetent Agrobacterium, how to transform Agrobacterium, how to infiltrate leaves or plants with the recombinant Agrobacterium, and lastly how to extract the protein for analysis by gel electrophoresis.
