Title:
TRANSGENIC ALGAE FOR DELIVERING ANTIGENS TO AN ANIMAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001098335
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Delivery systems and methods are provided for delivering a biologically active protein to a host animal. The systems and methods provided include obtaining an algal cell transformed by an expression vector, the expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence coding for the biologically active protein, operably linked to a promoter. In one illustrated embodiment, the biologically active protein is an antigenic epitope and upon administration to the animal the algal cell induces an immune response in the host animal.
