Vaccines can now be genetically engineered by inserting the genes that encode the pathogen's surface proteins into the?
DNA of harmless bacteria or viruses.
What is the role that microorganisms play in vaccine production?
Microorganisms can be used as vaccines. Some microbes can be genetically engineered to produce components of vaccines.
What is the use of genetically engineered bacteria?
The can produce antigens useful in making vaccines without the harmful parts of the original disease organism.
Vaccines are effective in preventing disease because they?
Vaccines are for the purpose of disease prevention. Vaccination is the process of introducing harmless pathogens to the body for a response trigger without an actual infection. Vaccines are either composed of: *dead pathogens *weakened pathogens *protiens from the target pathogens
What are edible vaccines?
Edible vaccines are vaccines produced in plants genetically modified through bioengineering.
Explain why the development of genetically engineered proteins has been important to pharmaceutical companies?
Genetically engineered proteins are important to many areas of human life such as agriculture, research, medicine and industry. Research is especially necessary for the possible cure of diseases that threaten every culture on Earth. Pharmaceutical companies can utilize the insulin and vaccines so necessary in developing countries.
Are made using weakened pathogens?
Vaccines.
What are Weak pathogens injected into your blood called?
Some vaccines are really just a weakened form of the disease. These are called attenuated vaccines.
Do vaccines destroy viruses only?
Vaccines do not destroy pathogens, they give the immune system antibodies so it can destroy a pathogen before it causes an infection. Vaccines do exist for some bacterial infections.
These are made from destroyed or fragmented pathogens containing a unique protein to trigger an immune response?
vaccines
The preparation of dead or weakened pathogens that causes the immune system to produce anitbodies?
vaccine
Definition of the conventional vaccines?
Conventional vaccines consist of whole pathogenic organisms, which may either be killed or live vaccines; the virulence of pathogens is greatly reduced in attenuated vaccines. This is classified into 2 categories :a)Live or attenuated vaccines; (eg : BCG vaccine)b)Inactivated vaccines (eg : Salk polio & Pertussisvaccines)
