Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, commercial production of proteins using plants still faces certain challenges, not least because previously used systems for infiltration and processing of plants are still relatively laborious and cost inefficient

Embodiment Construction

[0024] As mentioned above, plants are potential low-cost and pollution-free factories for the production of recombinant biopharmaceutical proteins. Accordingly, the systems described herein are intended for use in conjunction with larger automated machines and / or automated processes for the production of biopharmaceutical proteins, including recombinant proteins, such as antibodies, blood product substitutes, vaccines, hormones, cytokines and various other therapeutic agents (such as biosimilars).

[0025] Accordingly, the plant tray 10 of the present disclosure was developed for use in conjunction with automated and high-capacity handling equipment, such as in International Application No. PCT / CA2013 / 050118 filed February 15, 2013 (by reference in its entirety) In conjunction with the device described herein), to allow a larger number of plants to be simultaneously infiltrated with a given inoculum (such as, for example, an Agrobacterium inoculum). The presently described pl...

Abstract

A plant tray for receiving and holding one or more plant pots, the plant tray comprising a plant receiving tray and used in a high yield plant infiltration process for the production of recombinant protein. The plant tray has a base holding tray having an upper surface defining a cavity for receiving the plant pot; and a top plate removably mounted on the base holding tray and the top plate has holes defining passageways with corresponding cavities of the base holding tray when the holes are aligned with the cavities. The top plate is displaceable between a locked operative position in which the aperture and the corresponding cavity are partially misaligned, thereby locking the plant pot to the top plate and the base Keep between trays.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This international application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 61 / 652,284, filed May 28, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to plant trays for containing and maintaining multiple plant pots, and more particularly to plant containment trays for use in high yield plant infiltration processes for the production of recombinant proteins. Background technique [0004] There has been renewed interest in the use of plant sources for the production of new therapeutic agents. Genetically engineered plants can now be used to produce pharmaceutically active proteins, including mammalian antibodies, blood product substitutes, vaccines, hormones, cytokines, and a variety of other therapeutics. Plant production of biopharmaceuticals has great potential, for example, to become an important production system for various new biop...
