Abstract: Transgenic plant-derived vaccine is a new vaccine that combines the technology of gene engineering and theory of immunology. It is produced by ransferring foreign genes into plants and elicits human special immunoactivity directly. Compare with other vaccines, transgenic plant-derived vaccine is cheaper, safer and more efficacious. In recent study, the more and more antigen protein expressed in plants, and them were tested on animals and human. In this paper, these advances and the security of plant-derived vaccines were summarized.
