Title: Assuming you have appropriately engineered the Ti plasmid to carry the gene in q
Post by: mikael on Jan 7, 2014
Assuming you have appropriately engineered the Ti plasmid to carry the gene in question, how could you best and most safely test whether your potatoes are now working as a vaccine?
A) Feed the engineered potato to a population at high risk for cholera.
B) Cook the potatoes to denature the toxin and feed them to mice susceptible to cholera.
C) Feed pieces of raw potato to susceptible mice and test them for antibodies.
D) Emulsify the potatoes in a liquid that can be injected into experimental animals.
