Eat tomatoes to prevent hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a chronic; it seriously affects people's health, and has some characteristics of wide spreading and high infectivity. According to the report which issued by WHO(World Health Organization) in 1996, the number of worldwide people have died of hepatitis B are about 1.1 million in 1995, but it occur a gradual increasing trend in recent years. Although China has begun to inoculate infants and young children against yeast recombinant hepatitis B vaccine in large-scale, but prices of the recombinant peptide vaccine is higher, and must go to the hospital for vaccination. It is difficult to accept that make all of them to inoculate vaccine at present. The research of "use of transgenic plant production hepatitis B oral vaccine" which made by the Chinese high-tech bio-technology has achieved significant results. After the success of genetically modified potato, researcher now turn hepatitis B virus envelope protein antigen gene into the tomatoes, and obtain stable and high level expression. The advent of transgenic tomato for anti-hepatitis B, so we have more choices, do not go to the hospital, without vaccination, as long as a few tomatoes or take home to eat not fresh tomatoes, and processed into using this drug capsules, could be introduced in the body produces antibodies to hepatitis B virus, and vaccination to achieve the same effect, this is not a fairy tale.
