A synthetic chimeric gene, TBI-HBS, encoding the immunogenic ENV and GAG epitopes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and the surface protein antigen (HBsAg) of hepatitis B virus (HBV), was expressed in tomato plants. Tomato fruits containing the TBI-HBS antigen were fed to experimental mice and, on days 14 and 28 post-feeding, high levels of HIV- and HBV-specific antibodies were present in the serum and feces of the test animals. Intraperitoneal injection of a DNA vaccine directing synthesis of the same TBI-HBsAg antigen boosted the antibody response to HIV in the blood serum; however, it had no effect on the high level of antibodies produced to HBV.
一种合成嵌合基因TBI-HBS，编码人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV-1）的免疫原性ENV和GAG表位以及乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）的表面蛋白抗原（HBsAg），在番茄植株中得到表达。将含有TBI-HBS抗原的番茄果实喂给实验小鼠，在喂食后第14天和第28天，实验动物的血清和粪便中出现了高水平的HIV和HBV特异性抗体。腹腔注射一种指导合成相同TBI-HBsAg抗原的DNA疫苗增强了血清中对HIV的抗体反应；然而，它对产生的高水平HBV抗体没有影响。
