10 Questions
What is a recombinant vaccine and how is it produced?
A recombinant vaccine is a vaccine produced through recombinant DNA technology. It involves inserting the DNA encoding an antigen into cells, expressing the antigen, and purifying it from the cells.
What are the three groups of recombinant vaccines?
The three groups of recombinant vaccines are subunit recombinant vaccines, attenuated recombinant vaccines, and vector recombinant vaccines.
What are subunit recombinant vaccines?
Subunit recombinant vaccines are composed of components of the pathogenic organisms, such as proteins, peptides, and DNA.
What are attenuated recombinant vaccines?
Attenuated recombinant vaccines are genetically modified pathogenic organisms (bacteria or viruses) that are made non-pathogenic and used as vaccines.
What are vector recombinant vaccines?
Vector recombinant vaccines are genetically modified viral vectors that can be used as vaccines against certain pathogens.
