In the future, getting your flu shot will be as easy as just eating a banana. Plant biologists are trying to transform fruit and vegetables into botanical cargo vessels that can carry lifesaving vaccines using the tools of genetic engineering.
The idea is if you can get the flu vaccine in a sugar cube, it means the material that will prime your immune system to fight off the flu is inserted into the sugar cube. The research shares the same principle. The difference is the material will be inserted into the plant, where it combines with its genetic structure so that the fruit becomes the vaccine. In short, they are trying to change fruit into the vaccine.
If this research is successful, what will happen?
Fruit will become a vaccine.
People can find a vaccine in a sugar cube.
Fruit will be used as the material that is used to make vaccine.
The flu virus will no longer exist.
