“…Both fusions were localized exclusively when transiently expressed in N. benthamiana leaves by agroinfiltration and particle bombardment. The targeting of scFvs to the nucleus and their ability to function therein has been demonstrated [36], and a nuclear-targeted scFv against plum pox virus coat protein has been shown to reduce virus disease symptoms [37], but to our knowledge, we provide here the first report of the nuclear targeting of a scFv fusion protein.…”

“…In particular, this strategy was conceived to interfere with PPV NIb or CP functions by expressing in plants single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies specific to these proteins. 124 At 30 dpi in the best performing scFv/NIb and scFv/CP lines plants positive for PPV-D/NAT were only 17% and 21%, respectively. Although this line of research was not further developed, this methodological approach was shown feasible to confer resistance to multiple viruses; 125 hence, scFvs direct against conserved domain of non-structural viral proteins could be another tool for efficiently interfering with viral infection.…”

“…(2003) developed a monoclonal antibody (2A) against the RNA replicase NIb of PPV. Different recombinant versions in the form of single‐chain variable fragments (scFv) against structural and nonstructural proteins of PPV (scFv4C, specific for PPV‐D NAT isolates; scFv2A, specific for NIb protein) were generated (Esteban et al ., 2003; Gil et al ., 2004). Different cytosolic, nuclear and cytosolic facing endoplasmic reticulum membrane targeted versions were expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana .…”
