Pro-viral Transfection

ICON GENETICS' pro-viral vectors provide advantages of fast amplification processes in a plant cell, simple and inexpensive assembly of expression cassettes in planta, full control of the process, robustness of highly standardized protocols that allow to use inherently the same safe protocols for both laboratory-scale as well as industrial production processes:

• modifying the plant transiently rather than genetically
• reaching the speed and yield of microbial systems...
• while enjoying post-translational capabilities of plant cell
• de- and reconstructing the virus - added efficiency and safety
• freedom-to-operate
• no "physiology conflict" - separating the 'growth phase' from the 'production phase'

• Pro-vector assembly system   • Agrobacterium-mediated delivery   • In planta gene/vector assembly   • Ribozyme-based RNA vector assembly     • Translational vectors   • Translation (IRES) elements   • Nicotiana production hosts   • Amplification control switches   • 11 patents
