Sunday, May 12, 2002UPDATE: I just read a review article on vaccination that explains this story. The part of the hepatitis B virus that induces immunity is produced by the genetically altered carrot. Eating the carrot does seem induce antibodies to that part of the hepatitis B virus. The antibodies are present not only in the gut lining, but in the blood as well. At least, it works for mice who eat such altered potatoes. Don't know if it works with carrots and people, or if it actually protects against disease. posted by Sydney on 5/12/2002 11:48:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
