| Abstract | Abstract : Transgenic plants have been tested as an alternative host for the production and delivery of experimentaloral vaccines. Here, we developed transgenic potatoes that express the major antigenic sites A and D of the glycoproteinS from transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV-S 0.7 ) under three expression vector systems. The DNAintegration and mRNA expression level of the TGEV-S 0.7 gene were confirmed in transgenic plants by PCR and northernblot analysis. Antigen protein expression in transgenic potato was determined by western blot analysis. Enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay results revealed that based on a dilution series of Escherichia coli-derived antigen, the transgenicline P-2 had TGEV-S 70. protein at levels that were 0.015% of total soluble proteins. We then examined theimmunogenicity of potato-derived TGEV-S 70. antigen in mice. Compared with the wild-type potato treated group andsynthetic antigen treated group, mice treated with the potato-derived antigen showed significantly higher levels ofimmunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgA responses.Keywords : oral administration, potato-derived antigen, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, transgenic plant |
