Plant-Based Vaccines: Frontier Biotechnology and World Health

Plant-based vaccines use genetically modified plants to produce immunogenic proteins capable of triggering protective immune responses in humans and animals. This poster summarizes current methodologies, evidence from systems such as Nicotiana benthamiana, and examples including Medicago’s CoVLP and the Ebola-targeting ZMapp. It highlights advantages, challenges, and future prospects of plant-derived vaccine platforms.
