The aFGF (acidic fibroblast growth factor) plays an important role in morphogenesis, angiogenesis and wound healing and is therefore of potential medical interest. A DNA fragment encoding haFGF (human aFGF) has been cloned into the PVX (potato virus X)-based binary vector (pgR107) and transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana (a wild Australian tobacco) by agroinfection. Approx. 1 week after agroinfection, the recombinant haFGF accumulated in the agroinfected plants reached up to 1% of the total soluble protein. haFGF was then purified on heparin-Sepharose CL-6B. The purified haFGF could stimulate the growth of NIH 3T3 cells, suggesting that the recombinant haFGF expressed via PVX viral vector in N. benthamiana was active biologically.
酸性成纤维细胞生长因子（aFGF）在形态发生、血管生成和伤口愈合中发挥着重要作用，因此具有潜在的医学研究价值。一个编码人酸性成纤维细胞生长因子（haFGF）的DNA片段已被克隆到基于马铃薯X病毒（PVX）的双元载体（pgR107）中，并通过农杆菌介导的感染在本氏烟草（一种澳大利亚野生烟草）中瞬时表达。农杆菌介导的感染大约1周后，在被农杆菌感染的植物中积累的重组haFGF达到总可溶性蛋白的1%。然后，haFGF在肝素-琼脂糖CL-6B上进行纯化。纯化后的haFGF能够刺激NIH 3T3细胞的生长，这表明通过PVX病毒载体在本氏烟草中表达的重组haFGF具有生物学活性。
