Plant-Based Protein Expression Platform
With a deep understanding of plants and years of experience in protein expression, CD BioSciences has a variety of specialized plant-based recombinant protein expression systems that offer unmatched production speed, high scalability, low cost, and eukaryotic protein modification capabilities.
Figure 1. Schematic representation of technologies available in plant-based platforms for the production of recombinant biopharmaceuticals. (Shanmugaraj, B., et al., 2021) In recent years, the use of plants to express and produce exogenous proteins has been applied to a wide range of medical, food, and industrial proteins and enzymes. Our platform is capable of expressing proteins from animals, bacteria, viruses, and plants themselves, including a wide range of antibodies, enzymes, kinetic disorders, plasma proteins, and vaccines.

Our Platforms
The production of recombinant proteins by plants as bioreactors has lots of advantages
- Easy gene transformation, high success rate, short cycle time, high expression, easy purification, and fast yield.
- Stable genetic traits of homogeneous progeny are obtained from the self-crossing of transgenic plants, which in turn can accumulate multiple genes in the plant.
- No threat of phage contamination backflow, and little contamination by animal pathogens.
- Compared with other expression systems, the upstream production cost of plant expression systems is low and more suitable for mass production.
Why Choose Us?
- We have a wide range of plant species for vaccine expression.
- We offer a wide range of proven viral expression vectors.
- We have comprehensive transient or stable conversion systems.
- We can produce to satisfy specific requirements.
CD BioSciences provides innovative solutions for the efficient production of recombinant proteins using plant systems, establishing robust and streamlined processes covering gene synthesis, vector construction, transformation, protein expression optimization, and protein purification.
