Antioxidant activity of transgenic chicory plants with interferon-α2b gene.
Keywords:
antioxidant activity, genetic transformation, Cichorium intybus L., human interferon-α2bAbstract
Antioxidant activity of transgenic chicory plants with interferon-α2b gene was investigated. The antioxidant activity of nine plant lines from ten investigated varied from 11,2±0,69 х10-6 to 23,30±0,97 х10-6 mg/ml min and was higher than activity of control nontransformed plants (8,8±1,14 х10-6 mg/ml min). Direct relation between the presence of ifn-α2b gene reverse transcripts and interferon-like activity with increasing of antioxidant activity was not found. The increase of antioxidant activity may be caused by genetic transformation - transferring of the foreign gene in plants.References
