Vaccine Design - 2
  • 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

Vaccine Design - 3
  • 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

Vaccine Design - 4
  • 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
Vaccine Design - 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

Vaccine Design - 6
  • 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
