Abstract
- The article reports strategies for the production of plant-derived vaccines developed by Charles Arntzen and Hugh Mason at Arizona State University. The edible vaccines contributed to the production of antigenic proteins from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Norwalk virus and hepatitis B virus. The strategies include direct transformation of plants, utilization of plant viruses and generation of mucosally-targeted fusion proteins. The advantages of plant-derived vaccines are discussed.
