Popis:	The expression of antigens in vegetables and fruits has opened up a new avenue for the development of oral vaccines. In a recent report, an oral multi-component vaccine comprising a viral and a bacterial antigen has been successfully designed and has shown protection in mice. Even though there are still improvements to be made in the areas of expression levels and glycosylation, this is a promising technology for the future and for vaccine production.
