An edible vaccine is a food, typically plants, that contain vitamins, proteins or other nourishment that act as a vaccine against a certain disease. [1] Once the plant, fruit, or plant derived product is ingested orally, it stimulates the immune system. [1] Specifically, it stimulates both the mucosal and humoral immune systems. [2]
The genetically modified entity is reintroduced into a new bacterial or yeast cell. This cell will then undergo mitosis and divide rapidly, producing insulin suitable for human needs. Scientists grow the genetically modified bacteria or yeast in large fermentation vessels, which contain all of their necessary nutrients, and allow large amounts ...
