Oral immunization with a recombinant bacterial antigen produced in transgenic plants

TA Haq, HS Mason, JD Clements, and CJ Arntzen

Plant Biotechnology Program, Albert B. Alkek Institute of Biosciences and Technology, Texas A&M University, Houston 77030, USA.

The binding subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-B) is a highly active oral immunogen. Transgenic tobacco and potato plants were made with the use of genes encoding LT-B or an LT-B fusion protein with a microsomal retention sequence. The plants expressed the foreign peptides, both of which formed oligomers that bound the natural ligand. Mice immunized by gavage produced serum and gut mucosal anti-LT-B immunoglobulins that neutralized the enterotoxin in cell protection assays. Feeding mice fresh transgenic potato tubers also caused oral immunization.
