CO-EXPRESSION OF HUMAN CHAPERONE PROTEINS IN PLANTS FOR INCREASED EXPRESSION OF HETEROLOGOUS POLYPEPTIDES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the expression and/or promoting correct folding of a heterologous polypeptide of interest in a plant cell, comprising co-expressing the heterologous polypeptide of interest with a polypeptide encoding a mammalian chaperone protein. The invention also relates to plant cells and plants, which either transiently or stably, co-express the heterologous polypeptide of interest and the chaperone protein.
