The use of molecular biology to genetically modify plants has led to promising applications in biotechnology. In this entry, we analyze the advantages and challenges of plant-derived vaccines. We discuss the current state of the art on methods for heterologous protein expression in plants as well as the immunological activity of the plant-produced antigens used as subunit vaccines against various infectious diseases in animal and human studies.

Abstract
The use of molecular biology to genetically modify plants has led to promising applications in biotechnology. In this entry, we analyze the advantages and challenges of plant-derived vaccines. We discuss the current state of the art on methods for heterologous protein expression in plants as well as the immunological activity of the plant-produced antigens used as subunit vaccines against various infectious diseases in animal and human studies.File allegati a questo prodotto
