High-Quality Vaccines at a Fraction of a Cost
Traditional injectable and oral vaccines are extremely expensive to make. Plant vaccines could save the healthcare community and world economies millions of dollars each year. Consider this comparison of the cost of traditional vaccines vs. the cost of our edible vaccines:
Cost of a single inoculation of traditional Hepatitis B vaccine...........................$47.00
Cost of a single dose of edible (tomato based*) Hepatitis B vaccine................$00.11
*based on the price of tomatoes grown in California

Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories core technology has already raised great hopes for the future - a future where vaccines are safe and affordable to everyone and where the production of vaccines and other biomedical materials makes a positive contribution to world health and our global economy. However, to maintain its current program and move forward with research and development, Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories needs your support.
Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories has already set the stage for mass production and testing of plant vaccines. The next three years will be crucial to this endeavor and will require extensive funding from varied sources. The time to get involved is now!
