Vaccines, Immunology and Clinical Trials

Plant-based vaccines

Plant-based vaccines are recombinant protein subunit vaccines. Ideally, the choice of plant species used to produce the selected antigen should allow for oral drug delivery in the form of an edible vaccine. Plant based vaccine technologies involved in the integration of the desired genes encoding the antigen protein for specific disease into the genome of plant tissues by various methods. In the field of science and technology developed new approaches such as agroinfiltration, electroporation, polyethene glycol treatment and sonication to replace the former methods.
