- Abstract
- We describe expression and characterization of recombinant human colorectal cancer antigen GA733-2 fused to Fc fragment of antibody (GA733-2-Fc) using a replicating vector based on Beet curly top virus in infiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Recombinant GA733-2-Fc/KDEL with a molecular mass of ~68 kDa was transiently expressed. The level of expression of GA733-2-Fc with ER retention signal KDEL (GA733-2-Fc/KDEL) in the expression vector system was 0. 96% of total soluble proteins. Recombinant GA733-2-Fc/KDEL was purified using an affinity chromatography. Mice immunized with recombinant GA733-2-Fc/KDEL mounted a strong GA733-2-Fc/KDEL-specific serum antibody response. Vaccination of plant-derived recombinant GA733-2-Fc/KDEL regressed tumor volumes in BALB/c mice. The population of activated-T and NK-T cells increased notably in lymph node, spleen, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes derived from the tumor-regressed mice. Taken together, recombinant GA733-2-Fc/KDEL expressed in plants can be used as an effective experimental immunogen for research in cancer vaccine development.
