The disease burden is high in developing and underdeveloped countries. Previously, the constitutive expression of HPV-16 L1 protein led to male sterility in transplastomic tobacco plants. Here, the HPV-16 L1 gene was expressed in chloroplasts of Nicotiana tabacum under the control of an ethanol-inducible promoter, trans-activated by nucleus-derived signal peptide. Plants containing nuclear component were transformed with transformation vector pEXP-T7-L1 by biolistic gun. The transformation and homoplasmic status of transformed plants was verified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blotting, respectively. Protein was induced by spraying 5 %K Biopharmaceuticals (Other) %K L1 gene (Other) %K capsomeres (Other) %K cervical cancer (Other) %K ethanol-inducible system (Other) %K human papillomavirus (Other) %K plant-based vaccines (Other) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:33650709 %R 10.1002/bab.2136 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/167758
