Transgenic plants improving animal health through immune system modulation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11932864B2) discloses a transgenic plant or tissues containing a synthetic polynucleotide that encodes an anti-IL-10 single domain antibody. This antibody binds to a specific polypeptide with high affinity, potentially aiding in the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal infections in animals. The patent also covers the use of these transgenic plants in animal feed, where the antibody remains active even at elevated temperatures between 25°C to 130°C.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to animal feed formulations containing the transgenic plant material, along with feed supplements such as exogenous enzymes and various components like soluble solids, fat, and minerals. The method outlined in the patent involves administering the transgenic plant material to animals to treat or prevent gastrointestinal infections caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, particularly those belonging to the genus Eimeria. This treatment is suggested to stimulate the immune system and enhance animal growth, with potential applications in poultry farming for chickens, turkeys, and ducks.
