Transgenic plants bring new hope for drug development

According to the German news agency, German scientists have made some progress in the development of drugs for the treatment of diseases such as cancer by breeding genetically modified plants. Scientists believe that transgenic plants have the hope of becoming new ways to obtain multiple vaccines and specialty drugs in the future. Hubert Blumen, an expert from Freiburg University Hospital, said that they have achieved some results in the cultivation of transgenic plants. They have obtained some complex antibodies that can play a role in cancer detection from cultivated transgenic plants. In addition, some special drugs such as interferon for treating cancer can also be obtained through transgenic plants. Scientists explained that the principle of this method is to transplant foreign genes into certain plants, and then induce the plants to produce some proteins themselves to fight different diseases. It is reported that many scientists are currently trying to cultivate common vegetables such as genetically modified potatoes and tomatoes so that these plants contain immune substances against diseases such as rabies, flu or hepatitis, so that people can use ordinary ways of eating, absorbing these immune substances to achieve the purpose of immunization. . Compared with the existing vaccine injection method, this method has great economic advantages and is not suitable for poor countries to use for large areas. Blumen said at the same time, "According to the current level of scientific research, it is expected that new vaccines and drugs can be developed through genetically modified plants in 5 to 6 years."
