Plant-Derived Vaccines: A Sustainable Approach to Disease Control for Global Health
Abstract: Plant-based vaccines present a novel and environmentally responsible approach to vaccination, with significant potential for improving both human and animal health. These vaccines are safer and less expensive than traditional vaccine manufacturing methods because they use genetically modified plants to create antigens that elicit an immune response. Plant-based systems offer a potential remedy for traditional vaccines' high production costs and environmental impact, which are growing problems. Plant-derived vaccines have shown …

Edible Transgenic Plant Vaccines – An Overview and Update
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE Plants are used as bioreactors to express antigenic molecules to be administered as vaccines. Edible transgenic plant vaccines (ETPV) are plant materials (recombinant protein subunit vaccines), and the edible plant tissue functions as an oral vaccine. ETPV are mucosal targeted vaccines where stimulation of both systematic and mucosal immune network takes place and these diminish the utilization of conventional animal or bacterial …

Plantibodies as Edible Vaccine
Abstract: Plantibody is a plant derived antibody, which has been produced by genetically engineered plants. Antibodies which have proven itself as an important part of immune system in many organism’s act by recognizing viral antigens and other dangerous compounds and signal a response to it. In plant body formation, antibody coding genes from mammals will be inserted into plant’s genome, where they function same as natural mammalian antibodies. In plants, these …

Pharmacophore Mapping of Dengue Virus Inhibitors of Natural Origin Using Phase and Self Organizing Neural Networks
Abstract: Dengue virus (DENV) infection is an important arthropod-born viral infection infecting about 2.5 billion people worldwide. To date there are no effective vaccine or antiviral treatment for dengue. Dengue patients are usually supportively treated until they recover without any specific treatment measures. Plants and plant’s derived compounds remain an important source for the discovery and the development of new antiviral drugs because of their expected low side effects and their …
