Abstract

There is real interest in plant-made veterinary vaccine antigens right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the
most value. We pull together the current evidence for plant-made veterinary vaccine antigens, covering the methodological,
practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and regulators
are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered
here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
