The researchers also detected antibodies in the feces of six of the people who had received the
edible vaccine.
The report concludes with a complete future outlook for
edible vaccines which will give a confident understanding of the reach of
edible vaccines into the future much beyond traditional vaccine delivery systems.
Later, Curtiss was a scientific advisor to a plant biotechnology company that employed Cardineau as a molecular biologist, and the two hit on the idea of genetically engineering plants to become
