Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The invention is directed to a method of producing pulmonary surfactant protein-B (SP-B) isoforms fragments and analogues thereof in a plant cell, and to expression cassettes for expression of the SP-B proteins in plants. The expression cassettes may include various elements for improved expression, stability of the expressed protein or efficient purification of the expressed protein, including signal sequences, protease cleavage sites for release of the target protein, trafficking peptides for trafficking of the expressed protein to various plant compartments, and/or various tags.
