What Are Some Examples of Genetically Engineered Vaccines?
One of the most prominent examples of a genetically engineered vaccine is the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, developed by companies like Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. These vaccines use a snippet of the virusâs mRNA to instruct cells to produce the spike protein, triggering an immune response. Another example is the HPV vaccine, which uses recombinant DNA technology to produce virus-like particles that are highly effective in preventing certain strains of the human papillomavirus.
