Editor's Notes

  • #4 TrypZean ® is recombinant bovine trypsin expressed in corn. Avidin is a tetrameric biotin-binding protein.
  • #8 Plantbodies=mcAb produced in plants.
  • #9 A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. mucosal immune system is responsible for protecting the mucosal surfaces of the respiratory tract, nasal passages, and the intestines-1st line of defense. Vaccinated crops are consumed, digested, and makes its way into the blood stream. antigens in transgenic plants are delivered through bio-encapsulation to protects them from gastric secretions bio-encapsulation breaks up in the intestines and antigens released taken up by M cells in the intestinal lining that overlie peyer's patches and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) passed on to macrophages, other antigen-presenting cells; and local lymphocyte populations, generating serum IgG, IgE responses, local IgA response and memory cells promptly neutralizes the attack by the real infectious agent
  • #14 M cells(microfold) are specialized epithelial cells of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues. A characteristic of M cells is that they transport antigens from the lumen to cells of the immune system, thereby initiating an immune response. M cells express class II MHC
