Beijing Science and Technology News, January 18, 2006 News: Recently, Professor Henry Daniel, a molecular biologist at the University of Florida, discovered that tobacco can be used to save lives after genetic modification, because the new type of transgenic tobacco can be used to produce anthrax vaccine and insulin. And other drugs.
Daniel spent 20 years studying the production of drugs through genetically modified crops. He finally chose tobacco to produce drugs because tobacco is a plant that grows year-round and has strong reproductive power. Each plant can produce 1 million seeds. In addition, the use of tobacco for the production of drugs can be harmed and can save food, so that food plants are no longer used in the manufacture of related drugs.
To make an anthrax vaccine, Professor Daniel injected the vaccine gene into the chloroplast genome of tobacco cells. In a recent national experiment, researchers extracted anthrax vaccines from genetically modified tobacco and injected them into mice. These mice survived healthy attacks with anthrax. The next step is to experiment with people and test the effects of drugs on the body's immune system. Daniel predicts that an acre of this genetically modified tobacco can produce enough anthrax vaccines to safely and cheaply inoculate for all Americans. He hopes to bring the relevant drugs for tobacco production to market in the next three to five years.
