abstract = {Plants can complement dominant expression systems such as
Escherichia coli and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with
additional production capacity in response to emerging
infectious diseases, but compared to these hosts few
high-throughput screening tools that facilitate
biopharmaceutical development have been available in plants.
To advance this situation, high-throughput techniques were
implemented during cloning, expression, purification and
quantification, thus increasing the screening throughput
across the entire development process. This concept was
applied to a transient expression in Nicotiana spp., which
allows to establish production processes in as little as 3
weeks and thus quickly react to changing demands. In
combination with statistical design of experiments, the
established high-throughput screening tools allowed to
rapidly clone and test libraries of expression cassette
elements such as promotors, 5′ UTRs and signal sequences
and identify combinations thereof that maximize target
protein accumulation. This strategy was successfully
employed to produce interleukins, polyphosphate kinases,
IgG3 antibodies, biofilm degrading enzymes and endolysins
selected for a multilayered strategy directed against
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Notably,
IgG3 accumulation levels achieved by systematically
screening expression cassette elements were threefold higher
than the literature. Using the same strategy, dispersin B
accumulation levels equivalent to E. coli were reached.
Further improvement can be expected in the future by
expanding the set of expression cassette elements used for
screening, particularly with synthetic promotors, 3′ UTRs
and terminators. Plant-derived target proteins were
functional, except for a reduced enzymatic activity of
polyphosphate kinases, indicating that Nicotiana spp. can
supply recombinant proteins to counter emerging MRSA. Using
the high-throughput screening tools established herein,
additional plant-made proteins can be rapidly assessed for
their usefulness against MRSA in the future.In accordance
with a recent approach in biopharmaceutical development,
data generated with the different target proteins were used
to identify parameters that can guide the selection of
candidate proteins and even optimization strategies. For
instance, the target protein origin had a major impact on
the ideal expression compartment, thus allowing to
pre-select suitable expression compartments and reduce the
screening workload. Assessing intrinsic protein stability
parameters allowed to sort out unsuitable candidate
proteins, albeit currently limited to comparisons within the
same protein class. A parameter that can guide the
optimization of plant cell cultivation media is the medium
osmolality, essentially controlling the uptake of water into
plant cells. Characterization of host cell proteins that
persist after chromatography allowed to derive purification
strategies that facilitate their removal.},
