Translational Fusion and Redirection to Thylakoid Lumen as Strategies to Enhance Accumulation of Human Papillomavirus E7 Antigen in Tobacco Chloroplasts

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causal agent of cervical cancer, one of the most common causes of death in women worldwide, and its E7 antigen is the major candidate for a therapeutic vaccine. The large scale production of E7 by molecular farming that would lead to the development of a safe and in...
