VECTORS AND CELLS FOR PREPARING IMMUNOPROTECTIVE COMPOSITIONS DERIVED FROM TRANSGENIC PLANTS

摘要

The invention is drawn towards vectors and methods useful for preparing genetically transformed plant cells that express immunogens from pathogenic organisms which are used to produce immunoprotective particles useful in vaccine preparations. The invention includes plant optimized genes that encode the HN protein of Newcastle Disease Virus. The invention also relates to methods of producing an antigen in a transgenic plant.
