DNA RECOMBINANT

Vaccines help the body fight infectious diseases.

Traditional vaccines may be attenuated form of the
pathogen, that is, live pathogen is weakened through
chemical or physical process (e.g. vaccines against
measles, mumps, polio); whole pathogen that is
completely killed or destroyed chemically (e.g. vaccines
against
flu, cholera,
etc.) BY LABORATORY METHODS
DNA MOLECULES
FORMED

FIRST LICENSED DRUG IS HUMAN INSULIN

VACCINES
FIGHT INFECTIOUS DISEASES
WEAKENS BACTERIA

Advantages of a DNA vaccine include the following:

Plasmids are easily manufactured in large amounts.
DNA is stable and it resists temperature extremes so
storage and transport are straightforward.
The plasmid does not replicate and encodes only proteins
of interest.
