Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The gene encoding the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) under the control of cauliflower mosaic virus 35S-promoter was constructed and expressed in transgenic potato plants. The HBsAg expression were measured by ELISA kit containing monoclonal antibodies. The amount of HBsAg in roots was found 5–10 fold higher than in leaf tissues
