I wonder if you could whip up a vaccine to generate antibodies against a part of the protein so that it can’t bind to the right places on the sensory neurons.

I wonder if you could whip up a vaccine to generate antibodies against a part of the protein so that it can’t bind to the right places on the sensory neurons. Or heck maybe skip the vaccine and create some monoclonals against it. Although my understanding is that creating monoclonals usually requires isolating B cells targeting the right epitope from someone and sequencing them so some unlucky donor human or animal would need to touch the plant first.
