Abstract (2. Language): 
Vaccines and antibodies play a key role in healthcare. However, the cost of production and maintaining a chain for vaccine distribution has so far hampered realizing their full potential. Expression of antigens as vaccines and of antibodies against antigens of pathogens in transgenic plants is a convenient and inexpensive source for these immunotherapeutic molecules. Edible plant vaccine against diarrhea, expressed in potato, HIV/AID'S, expressed in tomato, is already in preclinical human trials. Attempts are being made to express many proteins of immunotherapeutic use at high levels in plants and to use them as bio-reactors of the modern era. Research underway is dedicated to solving these limitations by finding ways to produce oral (Edible) vaccines in transgenic plants.
