Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
It is the most important forage grass in Argentine and it presents high levels of total soluble protein.
General plant advantages :
Economic.
Easy to obtain in big amounts.
It can be used as an oral vaccine.
General plants disadvantages:Low levels of heterologue protein
expression.
Production of experimental vaccines in alfalfa transgenic plants

FMDV is a picornavirus with a single-stranded positive sense RNA genome.
Icosaedrical capsid, 30nm size
4 structural proteins compose its capsid:VP1, VP2, VP3 and VP4.
It is responsable for the most important economiclosses of cattle production in the world

Introduction BOVINE ROTAVIRUS
BRV is a rotavirus with a RNA positive genome.
2 structural proteins compose its outer capsid: VP4, and VP7.
VP4 and VP7 carry critical epitopes responsible for the induction of neutralizing antibodies.
VP 6
VP 7
VP 4
Rotavirus infections are the primary cause of severe diarrhea in young animals and children in the world.

Introduction I
BVDV is a pestivirus with a RNA positive genome.
Spherical shape 40 -60 nanometers (nm) of diameter, icosaedral capsid and external envelope.
E2 glycoprotein carries critical epitopes responsible for the induction of neutralizing antibodies.
BOVINE DIARREA VIRUS
Infects bovines of all ages, causing reproduction problems and altering biological products of high commercial value thereby, resulting in considerableeconomical losses.

It was possible to express E2T and APCH1-E2T protein in alfalfa transgenic plants
Conclusions
APCH1-E2T recognize the MHCII molecule on the surface ofperipheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from differentspecies
Without any concentration steps we obtain 1,5 mgr/ kgr of E2t in alfalfa plants
E2t experimental vaccine induce neutralizing antibodies and protection in cattle
APCH1 E2T optimize the immune response in cattle
Results obtained allow us to establish the conditions for recuperation of both protein E2T and APCH1-E2T with high yield, low cost and the possibility to carry out the scale-up easily.
