Development
of
Vaccines
for
Immunity - Several methods for the production of vaccines. As one of the strategies, vaccines can be prepared from animal material by isolating antigens. In conventional methods, separation of these antigens, sometimes has the risk of contamination and therefore, may become, health, hazard.
Therefore, biotechnology for development of vaccines may be used atleast in three different ways, which include:
(i) separation of a pure antigen, using a specific monoclonal antibody,
(ii) synthesis of an antigen with the help or oft cloned gene, and
(iii) synthesis of peptides to be used as vaccines.
