Abstract: Methods of tissue culture and in vitro propagation of medicinal plants, in particular, plants of the genera Hydrastis, Echinacea, Kalanhoe, Thymus and Calendula are described. Methods of genetically engineering the medicinal plants are also described, along with methods of producing recombinant proteins in such plants. Compositions and methods for administering recombinant proteins produced in these plants to subjects in need thereof are provided.
Abstract: Compositions effective for treating or preventing an anthrax infection in a subject in need thereof and recombinant proteins included in the compositions are provided. Methods for producing recombinant proteins in plants are described. Transgenic plants engineered to produce recombinant proteins as well as genetic constructs comprising nucleic acids encoding recombinant proteins thereof are also described. Methods of protecting subjects against anthrax infection with plant-derived compositions are provided.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for producing plant-derived immunogenic compositions that confer immunity against smallpox in a subject are provided. Plants engineered to produce antigenic proteins as well as expression cassettes comprising nucleic acids encoding proteins thereof are described. Methods of immunizing subjects with plant-derived compositions are also provided.
