Immunogenicity was tested in mice, which were either injected with or fed the plant-produced vaccine ( as compared to controls; high-titer antibodies against RSV were also induced. To express rabies vaccine in plants, we have used a recombinant alfalfa mosaic virus in spinach leaves. Research conducted by Dr. Kisung Ko, led to the production of a transgenic tobacco plant containing the heavy and light chains of human rabies antibody. The two chains recombined in the plants to produce a complete antirabies antibody, which was as effective as the original antibody in animals, before and after exposure to rabies (Table 4 ). ./cache/cord-007440-7gcpk9x9.txt ./txt/cord-007440-7gcpk9x9.txt
