Funded Activity Summary

Plant Cells for Improved Oral Delivery of Vaccines. The pharmaceutical industry is ever assessing methods of improved delivery of their valuable vaccines, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. The oral route increases ease of delivery, is less expensive, and has increased patient compliance. It may also allow vaccination of free-ranging animal populations that may otherwise go untreated. Optimizing oral delivery of plant-made, valuable proteins will therefore have broad ramifications to animal and human health industries, enhancing use of existing valuable compounds and creating opportunities for new compounds and user groups including wild and domesticated animals.
