  1. 1. An immunogenic formulation comprising (a) an emulsion comprising substantially intact, washed oil bodies obtained from plant seeds, and (b) an antigen.
  2. 6. A method for preparing an immunogenic emulsion formulation comprising: (1) obtaining substantially intact oil bodies form a plant cell; (2) washing the oil bodies to obtain a washed oil body preparation; (3) formulating the washed oil body preparation into an emulsion; and (4) adding an antigen.
  3. 10. A method of eliciting an immune response comprising administering an effective amount of an immunogenic formulation comprising (a) an emulsion comprising substantially intact, washed oil bodies obtained from plant seeds, and (b) an antigen to an animal in need thereof.
