Argobacterium tumefaciens
Targeting strategy:
attaching antigens to
cells that bind with M
cells in intestinal lining
M cells take in materials
that enter intestines
and pass them down to
other cells like antigenpresenting cells.
Macrophages degrade
proteins/antigens into
fragments and display
them on the cell
surface.
When T lymphocytes
recognize the foreign
fragments they trigger
the release of
antibodies and help in
bigger attack on the
cells
