Abstract:
The vaccines presently developed in laboratories are more numerous than the ones in current use. This acceleration of research efforts was made possible by a genuine biotechnological revolution which opened new avenues for vaccine preparation, with techniques such as the selection of relevant antigens and the use of subunit vaccines. Genetic engineering plays an increasing part in the development and production of both live and inactivated vaccines.
