Rice Engineered Minichromosomes and Their Applications
Arrows point to rice minichromosomes, chromosomes are stained with DAPI, hybridized with FISH markers (red and green are different FISH markers), scar bar=5μM.
Engineered minichromosomes (artificial chromosomes) offer opportunities for better genetic engineering of crops than is possible with current plant transformation practices. They can be...

Epitope Identification and Modification for Reduced Allergenic Activity in Proteins Targeted for Transgenic Expression
Invention Reference: 04/MED/165
Disclosed is a method for identification of key amino acids in plant proteins critical in generating allergenic activity through mapping the epitope(s) harboring human IgE binding activity. The identified epitope(s) are then modified by amino acid substitution preferably by alanine substitution, for reduced or negative...

A Cost-effective Method for Expression and Purification of Recombinant Proteins in Plants
Invention Reference:10/MED/400
This invention provides a cost-effective and efficient method to express and purify recombinant proteins in transgenic plants.
The recombinant proteins are expressed as fusions with an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP)-intein tag and include pharmaceuticals, antibody chains and other useful proteins. They may be produced...
