Microbial and animal cell cultures have been used for decades to produce recombinant proteins for industry and health. Each of these systems has its limitations. HBS takes advantage of the unique characteristics of maize grain to overproduce proteins for these applications. For example, proteins not well-suited to traditional single-cell expression systems can be produced in maize grain. HBS has licensed, issued, and pending patents (from Applied Biotechnology Institute) that favor high expression and efficient processing.
