In the last decade, it was found that green plants can also be used as the "surrogate production organism" to produce antigens of human pathogens (including HB-sAg). The introduction of selected desired genes into plants and then inducing these altered plants to produce the encoded proteins is the primary condition for the development of edible vaccines. Edible vaccine development has been challenged by low expression levels of foreign proteins in transgenic plants. Selection of strong plant-specific super promoters to improve expression levels is another key factor that can determine the success of edible vaccines [4] .
