A Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-derived vector was used to express a native Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) L1 gene in Nicotiana benthamiana by means of infectious in vitro RNA transcripts inoculated onto N. benthamiana plants. HPV-16 L1 protein expression was quantitated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) after concentration of the plant extract. We estimated that the L1 product ...

The antimicrobial activity and preliminary phyto-chemical studies on whole plant of Stachytarpheta jamaicensis were evaluated. The shade dried and coarsely powdered plant was successively extracted with n-hexane, chloroform and alcohol in Soxhlet apparatus. The antimicrobial activity of chloroform and alcohol extracts were evaluated by disc diffusion method and the MIC was determined. Prelimina...

In our search for new anticancer medicinal plants, the antiproliferative activity of the methanol extract of Daphne mucronata (Thymelaeaceae) was evaluated using human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells. The cells responded to plant treatments in a dose dependent manner and the IC50 of the crude extract (equivalent to 1 g of plant leaves powder per ml) and the purified active component were found ...
