Revisiting the Science of Plant-based Vaccines; Reduction in Utilization of Conventional Animal or Bacterial Systems but Biosafety Concerns

摘要

Plant-derived pharmaceuticals (biopharmaceuticals) seem to become a promising platform for human health care as the science of biotechnology came from studies on plants starting 1980s. Nowadays, the world of plant productions has been changed fundamentally particularly in the field of plant biotechnology. Induction of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, improvement of plant's physical traits, production of reagent proteins, high value pharmaceuticals and nutritionally enhanced crops are the most important concerns in this field.
