Tools
Development of expression systems for FMD diagnostic reagents
Research Question
What are we trying to achieve and why? What is the problem we are trying to solve?
To develop expression system for FMD diagnostic reagents that would not require specialised biosafety level 3 facilities to be produced securely.
Research Gaps and Challenges
What are the scientific and technological challenges
(knowledge gaps needing to be addressed)?
- Develop simple methods for RNA extraction
- Identify new expression systems
State Of the Art
What else needs to be done before we can solve this need?
The use of recombinant technology as an alternative source of test antigens has shown promise in several studies.
