Abstract
This invention concerns a method of making an anti-infective composition for oral administration using an agent selected from the group consisting of lactoferrin protein and lysozyme protein. The method comprises three steps. The nucleic acid, which encodes a lactoferrin or lysozyme protein, is expressed in a monocot seed. The protein is isolated from the seed. This protein isolation compromises greater than 3% of the total soluble protein in the monocot seed. The protein is then formulated for oral administration.
