The effect of plant tissue and vaccine formulation on the oral immunogenicity of a model plant-made antigen in sheep.

Antigen-specific antibody responses against a model antigen (the B subunit of the heat labile toxin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, LTB) were studied in sheep following oral immunisation with plant-made and delivered vaccines. Delivery from a root-based vehicle resulted in antigen-specific immu...
