09.03.2016 Rosales-Mendoza S, Salazar-Gonzalez JA, Decker EL, Reski R. Expert Rev Vaccines. 2016 Mar 9:1-11. [Epub ahead of print] Expert Rev Vaccines. online article Plant glycans play an important role in vaccinology as adjuvants and delivery vehicles or as backbones for the synthesis of conjugated vaccines. In addition, genetic engineering for producing novel polysaccharides in plant cells will be a relevant approach for the design of new types of vaccines. This review contains an updated outlook on this topic including a discussion on how the molecular pharming field can be linked to the production of innovative glycan-based and conjugate vaccines.
