What Technologies Are Involved in Vaccine Production?
Several cutting-edge technologies are employed in vaccine production: - Recombinant DNA Technology: Used to produce proteins that mimic disease antigens. - mRNA Technology: A newer approach, used by vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines. - Adjuvant Technology: Enhances the immune response to the vaccine. - Cell Culture: Growing viruses or bacteria in controlled environments to produce antigens.
