In the past few years, plants have been gaining a rapid traction, involving genetic modification and expression of new genes in plant host cells. Owing to significant advantages over conventional expression systems, such as low production costs, product safety, and ease of scaling up, plants are being widely recognized as a potential platform for the development and manufacturing of wide range of biopharmaceuticals. Currently, a large number of plant-based proteins are being evaluated in clinical phases of development, including vaccine candidates against COVID 19 and multiple rare therapeutic disorders.
Advantages Offered by Plant-based Expression System Platforms
Owing to their unique advantages, such as high scalability and eukaryotic modification of proteins, plant-based expression systems have emerged as an optimal drug development platform for drug manufacturers.
Key Developments in Plant-based Biologics Domain
Considering the expanding clinical pipeline and recent drug approvals, developers are pursuing innovative and effective therapeutic interventions. Plant-based technologies, based on the concept that plant cells can operate as a reactor for freshly initiated biosynthesis, has enabled the development of life-saving therapies, such as Z-Mapp and ELELYSO
.
Current Market Trends
During our research we came across 35+ plant-based expression systems providers that are currently engaged in providing their proprietary technology platforms to drug developers for the development of novel biologics. In addition, close to 25% of the developers are providing their technologies to companies developing plant-based vaccines. Furthermore, most of the technology providers are primarily based in North America.
