Abstract: In this report, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tomato with plasmid pBIE8-CTB-FimA(266-337) containing FimA and CTB gene with E8 promoter were performed, and the immunity of the transgenic tomato fruit as an edible vaccine by oral immunization of mice were determined. The results indicated that the transgenic plants were confirmed by Southern blot and RT-PCR; the fusion proteins from leaf and fruit tissue of transgenic plants were detected by Western blot; specific anti-FimA antibodies in the serum of mouse were detected, all of which suggested that candidate edible plant vaccine was obtained successfully.
