ABSTRACT
Plants have been explored as a platform to produce pharmaceutical proteins for over 20 years. Important features such as the cost-effectiveness of production, the ease of scaling up to manufacturing capacity, the lack of cold chain requirements and the ability to produce complex therapeutic proteins which are biologically and functionally identical to their mammalian counterparts, make plants a strong alternative for vaccine production. This review article focuses on both the expression as well as the downstream purification processes for plant made vaccines. Expression strategies including transgenic, transient and cell suspension cultures are outlined, and various plant tissues targeted such as leaves and seeds are described. The principal components used for downstream processing of plant made vaccines are examined. The review concludes with a reflection of the future benefits of plant production platforms for vaccine production.
