Abstract

Green plants have emerged as ideal platforms for production of recombinant vaccine during recent decades. Various antigens relating to a large number of animal and human diseases have been studied in different plant species for production of recombinant vaccines. Despite the unique advantages of plant systems as green factories for production of recombinant vaccines, there are some major hurdles that have prevented commercial production of plant-based vaccines. In this review, theoretical background and practical applications of plant system for production of various recombinant vaccines are discussed.
