Edible vaccine protects mice against Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT): potatoes expressing a synthetic LT-B gene.
coli strains from 430 patients were selected, and all were analyzed by a multiplex PCR (3) that detects the following pathogenic genes: heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins (st, lt) for ETEC, intimin (eaeA) and bundle-forming pilus (bfp) for EPEC, Shiga toxin 1 and 2 (stx1, stx2) and intimin (eaeA) for STEC, and invasion-associated loci (ia1) for EIEC.
The results of the Phase I clinical trial indicate that doses of heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) derived from Escherichia coli can safely elicit immune responses when delivered to the skin via a patch.
