The book is essential for anyone interested in vaccine development, as it highlights the unique advantages of viral vector vaccines in triggering robust, long-lasting immunity and provides an in-depth exploration of the technology and advancements shaping the future of healthcare.
Viral vector vaccines have several unique advantages when compared to other vaccine platforms. These powerful vaccines are capable of triggering long-lasting cellular responses, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, that eradicate virus-infected cells. Viral vector-based vaccines use a harmless virus to smuggle the instructions for making antigens from the disease-causing virus into cells, triggering protective immunity against them. In contrast to conventional antigen-containing vaccines, these vaccines use the body’s natural defense system to produce antigens by using a modified virus to deliver genetic code for an antigen. Viral Vectors for Vaccine Delivery provides a comprehensive overview of viral vectors and their applications in vaccine delivery. Its chapters explore various aspects of viral vector technology, from the basic principles of viral vector construction to the latest advancements in gene editing and manufacturing.
