Vaccine Lahore Garrison University 5 A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface protein
Terms Vaccine-Ag administered for the production of protective immune response in host Vaccination-Administration of Ag for the production of protective immune response Lahore Garrison University 6
Types Of Vaccines There are following types of vaccine Live/attenuated vaccine Killed/ Inactivated vaccine Subunit Vaccine Conjugate vaccine Recombinant vaccine Molecular vaccine Lahore Garrison University 7
Attenuated/live Vaccine Attenuated vaccine is a vaccine created using live Ag (Microbe is cultured such a way that its pathogenecity is lost but antigenecity remains constant). Attenuation takes an infectious agent and alters it so that it becomes harmless or less virulent. Examples: Vaccinia (smallpox) Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined vaccine) Poliovirus (Oral drops) Lahore Garrison University 8
Killed/ Inactivated Vaccine An inactivated vaccine (or killed vaccine) is a vaccine consisting of virus particles, bacteria, or other pathogens that have been grown in culture and then killed (usually with formalin) Inactivated poliovirus (IPV) vaccine Rabies vaccine, Hepatitis A virus vaccine Lahore Garrison University 9
Subunit Vaccine Subunit vaccines are vaccines that use only part of the disease-causing Ag. This strategy is used most often when one part of the Ag is responsible for causing disease. Instead of using entire microbe, problomatic part of Ag is isolated (mostly protein) and used for vaccine production which can stimulate the immune response e.g. exotoxins of Clostridium tetani Example: ATT (Anti tetanus toxoid) Lahore Garrison University 10
Conjugate Vaccine In a conjugate vaccine, the weak antigen is covalently attached to a strong antigen, thereby eliciting a stronger immunological response to the weak antigen. Most commonly, the weak antigen is a polysaccharide that is attached to strong protein antigen. Hemophilis influenza is a major cause of meningitis in children <5 years old as well as a cause of pneumonia. The vaccines consist of capsular polysaccharide of H influenza linked to the tetanus or diphtheria toxoid proteins as carriers (inactivated form) Lahore Garrison University 11

Recombinant Vaccine A recombinant vaccine is a vaccine produced through recombinant DNA technology. Gene encoding for virulence is introduced in attanuated vector (bacteria/virus). As vector replicates in host, gene is expressed and immunity is produced against vector as well as expressing protein Hepatitis B virus Vaccine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Lahore Garrison University 13
Lahore Garrison University 14
Molecular vaccine Also called DNA vaccine This involves inserting the DNA encoding an antigen (such as a bacterial surface protein) in plasmid and then plasmid is directly injected in muscle of host. Host muscle cells uptake DNA and encoded protein is expressed producing cellular as well as humoral immunity HIV vaccine is in trial Lahore Garrison University 15
