Biotechnology, Inc. - Availability of an environmental
assessment for a field release of Nicotiana hybrids genetically
engineered to produce antibodies
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: We are advising the public that we have prepared an
environmental assessment for a proposed field release involving
a Nicotiana hybrid line that has been genetically engineered to
produce an antimicrobial antibody that binds to a bacterium
(Streptococcus mutans) associated with tooth decay in humans.
The purpose of this field release is to generate plant biomass
from which the antibody will be extracted after harvest. We are
making the environmental assessment available to the public for
review and comment.
DATES: We will consider all comments received on or before July
13, 2007.
