Expression and Characterization of Functional Recombinant Bet v 1.0101 in the Chloroplast of <b><i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i></b>

Abstract

We could successfully produce recombinant Bet v 1 in C. reinhardtii. As microalgae are classified as GRAS (generally recognized as safe), the pilot study supports the development of novel allergy treatment concepts such as the oral administration of allergen-containing algal extracts for therapy.
