The Molecular Farming of Plants and Animals for Human and Veterinary Medicine book presents a groundbreaking exploration of the use of genetically modified plants and animals as bioreactors to produce pharmaceutical and therapeutic compounds. This multidisciplinary volume bridges plant and animal biology with biotechnology, offering insights into how agriculture can serve as a scalable, cost-effective, and safe platform for producing biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, antibodies, and therapeutic proteins.
This book delves into diverse molecular farming strategiesโranging from the use of tobacco, alfalfa, and maize as protein production platforms to employing viral vectors and chloroplast transformation for optimizing yields. Topics span the expression of cytokines, antibodies, edible vaccines, and autoantigens in plants and animals, including novel systems like transgenic milk, seed-based vaccines, and egg-derived antibodies.
Key medical challenges such as HIV, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, and livestock pathogens are addressed through innovative bioengineering approaches. The volume provides real-world case studies, regulatory perspectives, and future prospects, making it essential for researchers, biotech professionals, veterinarians, and policymakers in agricultural and pharmaceutical sciences.
