Fecha de publicación: 05/01/2023 Fuente: WIPO Rice A plant produced vaccine for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is provided where the Spike protein of the virus is expressed in a plant by introducing into a plant a construct comprising a promoter preferentially directing expression to seed of said plant, a nucleic acid encoding the Spike protein and a nucleic acid targeting expression to the endoplasmic reticulum of the plant. The plant expresses the 51 polypeptide at levels of at least 10 mg/kg of seed of said plant. When orally administered to an animal, a protective response is observed including a serum antibody response.
