<i>Lactococcus lactis</i>as a live vector for mucosal delivery of therapeutic proteins
1 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Food-grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been safely consumed by humans for centuries in fermented foods. Lactococcus lactis, a LAB widely used in the dairy industry as a starter, can be genetically engineered to efficiently produce a large variety of proteins.
