Oral immunization of fish against iridovirus infection using recombinant antigen produced from rice callus
Highlights • We expressed a recombinant major capsid protein (rMCP) of rock bream iridovirus in rice callus. • Fish immunized orally with rMCP underwent successful induction of antibodies and were protected against viral challenge. • Transgenic single-cell cultures offer advantages over whole-plant...

Summary: | Highlights • We expressed a recombinant major capsid protein (rMCP) of rock bream iridovirus in rice callus. • Fish immunized orally with rMCP underwent successful induction of antibodies and were protected against viral challenge. • Transgenic single-cell cultures offer advantages over whole-plant systems with high level containment. • Plant-based oral administration protocol could be used as an effective (less labor and stress) means of accomplishing practical vaccine trials. |
