COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF HUMAN CHOLINESTERASES

摘要

In some aspects, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for the production of human cholinesterases. More particularly, it relates to methods for the production of human cholinesterases using transient expression and vectors for producing the same. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a plant viral vector encoding a plant codon-optimized DNA sequence that results in accumulation of the cholinesterase in a plant leaf at levels greater than 20 mg, and in some embodiments greater than 200 mg, of the enzyme per kilogram of the plant leaf.
