- Types of vaccine formulations (designs):
- eattenuated
- esynthetic antigen
- elive viral vector
- eSubunits
- eNaked DNA
- Attenuated vaccines:
- eFirst type of vaccines used
- eStill used for the following:
- ˇMycobacterium tuberculosis
- ˇSalmonella typhii
- ˇBordetella pertussis
- eshort-lived and limited protection
- eLive attenuated viral vaccines are more effective than are killed ones:
- ˇPolio vaccines
- ˇMeasles vaccines

- Synthetic Antigen Vaccines:
- eSynthesized peptides that resemble antigenic determinants (epitopes) of
a particular infectious agent
- eThis type of vaccine made possible with developments in:
- ˇidentification of bacterial antigenic structure
- ˇrecombinant DNA technology
- ˇidentification of specific epitopes
- eApplications of this type of vaccine include:
- ˇHepatitis B vaccines
- ˇHerpes simplex vaccines
|

|
- Live Viral vector vaccines:
- eUses a live recombinant viral vector (carrier)
- eGene that codes for the desired antigenic detrminants (epitopes) are
inserted into a non-pathogenic virus
- eAltered virus is then used as the vaccine
- eApplications under investigation include:
- ˇHIV
- ˇHBV
- ˇHerpes simplex vaccines
|
5
|
- Subunit vaccines:
- eConsists of specific, defined regions of purified antigen from
pathogenic organisms
- eThese subunits are capable of inducing a protective immune response
- eApplications under investigation include:
- ˇDiphtheria - tetanus toxin
- ˇBacterial polysaccharides of:
- ¸Hemophilus influenzae
- ¸Pneumococcus
- ˇHBsAg
|

|
- Naked DNA vaccines:
- einject only the DNA molecule (naked DNA) of pathogenic organism into
host muscle tissue
- eMuscle cells incorporate naked DNA
- eMuscle cells then will synthesize antigenic structures of introduced
DNA code
