what are edible vaccines? how are they manufactured?

Question

i need the answer for my botany exam paper.it is related to biotechnology.

Answer 1

In this case, edible vaccines are antigenic proteins that are genetically engineered into a consumable crop. The idea is that the crop food product contains the protein which is derived from some disease causing pathogen. People eat the crop, the food is digested, and some of the protein makes its way into the blood stream. Get enough of this protein into the blood stream and it causes an immune response. This immune response would now nuetralize the pathogen should the person ever encounter it in the future.

The nice thing about edible vaccines is that it's a very cheap way to produce vaccines, and it's also a very convenient way to store, ship and distribute vaccines. Not to mention, kids generally like eating more than getting shots.

The problem is that ingestion is not always a reliable means of adminstering a vaccine. It's hard to get enough protein where it needs to be to get a good immune response.

Edible Vaccine

Answer 3

There was something done to test if it did, the guy reported the results that they do cause it, but it was faked, the man himself admitted that he was paid to deliver the false results. Vaccines do NOT cause Autism.
