| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides edible vaccines comprising transgenic microalgae expressing at least one exogenous antigen or an intervening organism comprising the transgenic microalgae. The antigen expressing microalgae are used for oral delivery of the antigen to a target organism in its intact and functional form. The exogenous antigen, expressed in the microalgae, is characterized by exerting at least one immunogenic response in the subject consuming the vaccine. |
