Abstract
The misuse of antibiotics in veterinary medicine presents significant challenges, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic approaches such as antibody drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the application of antibody drugs in veterinary settings to reduce economic losses and health risks. This study focused on targeting the F4ac subtype of the FaeG protein, a key adhesion factor in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections in piglets. By utilizing formaldehyde-inactivated ETEC and a soluble recombinant FaeG (rFaeG) protein, an antibody library against the FaeG protein was established. The integration of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and a eukaryotic expression vector containing murine IgG Fc fragments facilitated the screening of anti-rFaeG IgG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The results demonstrate that the variable regions of the screened antibodies could inhibit K88-type ETEC adhesion to IPEC-J2 cells. Furthermore, in vivo neutralization assays in mice showed a significant increase in survival rates and a reduction in intestinal inflammation. This research underscores the potential of antibody-based interventions in veterinary medicine, emphasizing the importance of further exploration in this field to address antibiotic resistance and improve animal health outcomes.

Abstract
The many factors impacting the efficacy of a vaccine can be broadly divided into three categories: features of the vaccine itself, including immunogen design, vaccine type, formulation, adjuvant and dosing; individual variations among vaccine recipients and vaccine administration-related parameters. While much literature exists related to vaccines, and recently systems biology has started to dissect the impact of individual subject variation on vaccine efficacy, few studies have focused on the role of vaccine administration-related parameters on vaccine efficacy. Parenteral and mucosal vaccinations are traditional approaches for licensed vaccines; novel vaccine delivery approaches, including needless injection and adjuvant formulations, are being developed to further improve vaccine safety and efficacy. This review provides a brief summary of vaccine administration-related factors, including vaccination approach, delivery route and method of administration, to gain a better understanding of their potential impact on the safety and immunogenicity of candidate vaccines.

Abstract
Developments in the use of genetically modified plants for human and livestock health and phytoremediation were surveyed using information retrieved from Entrez PubMed, Chemical Abstracts Service, Google, congress abstracts and proceedings of related scientific societies, scientific journals, etc. Information obtained was classified into 8 categories according to the research objective and the usage of the transgenic plants as 1: nutraceuticals (functional foods), 2: oral vaccines, 3: edible curatives, 4: vaccine antigens, 5: therapeutic antibodies, 6: curatives, 7: diagnostic agents and reagents, and 8: phytoremediation. In total, 405 cases were collected from 2006 to 2010. The numbers of cases were 120 for nutraceuticals, 65 for oral vaccines, 25 for edible curatives, 36 for vaccine antigens, 36 for therapeutic antibodies, 76 for curatives, 15 for diagnostic agents and reagents, and 40 for phytoremediation (sum of each cases was 413 because some reports were related to several categories). Nutraceuticals, oral vaccines and curatives were predominant. The most frequently used edible crop was rice (51 cases), and tomato (28 cases), lettuce (22 cases), potato (18 cases), corn (15 cases) followed.

Abstract
To test the possibility of producing the novel vaccine in plants against diarrhea normally found in neonatal and newly weaned piglets, the faeG gene, encoding a major F4ac fimbrial subunit protein, was introduced into the tobacco chloroplast genome. After two rounds of selection under spectinomycin, we obtained the transgenic plants nearly homoplasmic. RNA gel blot analysis indicated that faeG and the antibiotic selective gene aminoglycoside 3' adenylyltransferase (aadA) were highly transcribed as a dicistron, while the translational level of recombinant FaeG in transplastomic tobacco was about 0.15% of total soluble protein. The immunogenicity of recombinant FaeG produced in tobacco chloroplasts was confirmed by the observation that FaeG-specific antibodies were elicited in mice immunized with total soluble protein of transgenic plants, as well as the result that mouse sera stimulated by chloroplast-derived recombinant FaeG could neutralize F4ac enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in vivo. This study provides a new alternative for producing the ETEC vaccine using the chloroplast expression system.

Abstract
RESUMO A suinocultura moderna tem propiciado a obtenção de índices produtivos positivos, entretanto tem predisposto os suínos a um grande número de doenças. A ocorrência dessas enfermidades estimulou o uso indiscriminado das drogas antimicrobianas na prevenção de infecções.Escherichia coli é um dos principais patógenos da suinocultura e se caracteriza pela alta resistência aos agentes antimicrobianos. A habilidade deste patógeno na transmissão horizontal da resistência aos antimicrobianos decorre de vários mecanismos genéticos e possui sérias implicações à saúde pública. Dentre os problemas associados à disseminação da resistência múltipla aos antimicrobianos, podemos citar a contaminação do homem e dos animais por bactérias patogênicas de difícil controle terapêutico, principalmente por meio dos alimentos e de ambiente contaminados. Esta revisão tem como objetivo abordar aspectos relevantes de E. coli relativos ao seu potencial patogênico em suínos e à sua resistência às drogas antimicrobianas. Além disso, também apresenta algumas das alternativas aos usos desses fármacos na suinocultura.

Abstract
A variety of plant species have been genetically modified to accumulate vaccine antigens for human and animal health and the first vaccine candidates are approaching the market. The regulatory burden for animal vaccines is less than that for human use and this has attracted the attention of researchers and companies, and investment in plant-made vaccines for animal infectious disease control is increasing. The dosage cost of vaccines for animal infectious diseases must be kept to a minimum, especially for non-lethal diseases that diminish animal welfare and growth, so efficient and economic production, storage and delivery are critical for commercialization. It has become clear that transgenic plants are an economic and efficient alternative to fermentation for large-scale production of vaccine antigens. The oral delivery of plant-made vaccines is particularly attractive since the expensive purification step can be avoided further reducing the cost per dose. This review covers the current status of plant-produced vaccines for the prevention of disease in animals and focuses on barriers to the development of such products and methods to overcome them.

Abstract
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are a major cause of enteric diseases affecting livestock and humans. Edible transgenic plants producing E. coli fimbrial subunit proteins have the potential to vaccinate against these diseases, but have not reached their full potential as a renewable source of oral vaccines due in part to insufficient levels of recombinant protein accumulation. Previously, we reported that cytosol targeting of the E. coli K99 fimbrial subunit antigen resulted in FanC accumulation to approximately 0.4% of total soluble protein in soybean leaves (Piller et al. in Planta 222:6-18, 2005). In this study, we report on the subcellular targeting of FanC to chloroplasts. Twenty-two transgenic T1 progeny derived from seven individual T0 transformation events were characterized, and 17 accumulated transgenic FanC. All of the characterized events displayed relatively low T-DNA complexity, and all exhibited proper targeting of FanC to the chloroplast. Accumulation of chloroplast-targeted FanC was approximately 0.08% of total soluble leaf protein, or approximately 5-fold less than cytosol-targeted FanC. Protein analysis of leaves at various stages of maturity suggested stability of chloroplast-targeted FanC throughout leaf maturation. Furthermore, mice immunized intraperitoneally with protein extract derived from transgenic leaves expressing chloroplast-targeted FanC developed significant antibody titers against FanC. This is the first report of subcellular targeting of a vaccine subunit antigen in soybean.

Abstract
During the past two decades, antibodies, antibody derivatives and vaccines have been developed for therapeutic and diagnostic applications in human and veterinary medicine. Numerous species of dicot and monocot plants have been genetically modified to produce antibodies or vaccines, and a number of diverse transformation methods and strategies to enhance the accumulation of the pharmaceutical proteins are now available. Veterinary applications are the specific focus of this article, in particular for pathogenic viruses, bacteria and eukaryotic parasites. We focus on the advantages and remaining challenges of plant-based therapeutic proteins for veterinary applications with emphasis on expression platforms, technologies and economic considerations.
