A Potential Synthetic Vaccine Adjuvant for Tuberculosis Vaccines

Introduction
Protein expression systems are the foundation of modern biotechnology, enabling the production of therapeutic proteins, enzymes, and vaccines. While bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cell expression systems dominate, plant-based protein expression platforms are emerging as a sustainable, scalable, and cost-effective alternative. Plants such as tobacco, maize, and rice can be genetically engineered to produce recombinant proteins, antibodies, and vaccines with advantages in speed, safety, and affordability.

The global plant-based protein expression market is gaining traction as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural companies seek alternatives that can lower production costs and reduce reliance on complex mammalian cell cultures. With growing demand for biologics and vaccines, the next decade is expected to witness significant expansion of plant-based expression technologies.
