The oral vaccines and oral vaccine adjuvants of the present invention are produced in transgenic plants and then administered through the consumption of the transgenic plant. DNA sequences both natural and synthetic encoding for the expression of immunogenic agents which are capable of causing an immune response in animals when fed in edible plants, plant tissues, or derived plant materials are constructed and plants transformed for stable or transient expression in plant cells. The present invention provides the first known functional method for immunizing animals via transgenic plants, where the plants express bacterial antigens that act as both immunogens and adjuvants when the transgenic plant material expressing the antigens is fed to animals.

Les vaccins oraux et leurs adjuvants de l'invention sont produits dans des plantes transgéniques puis administrés par absorption d'une telle plante. On assemble des séquences d'ADN, naturelles ou synthétiques, qui codent pour l'expression d'agents immunogènes capables de provoquer une réponse immunitaire chez des animaux lorsqu'ils mangent ces plantes comestibles, des tissus végétaux ou des éléments dérivés de ces plantes, et on transforme des plantes pour qu'elles procèdent à l'expression stable ou transitoire de telles séquences dans leurs cellules. L'invention concerne le premier procédé fonctionnel connu premettant d'immuniser des animaux par l'intermédiaire de plantes transgéniques qui expriment des antigènes bactériens agissant tant comme immunogènes que comme adjuvants, quand les éléments de plantes transgéniques exprimant ces antigènes sont absorbés par des animaux.
