Questions like these will be on the exam
1 a. Mention the six vaccine categories that can be discerned.
Subunit can be any protein part of the virus most of the cases conjugated with a
immunogenic counterpart, RNA/DNA subunit is literally just a piece of RNA of DNA
encoding a part of the virus. Vector is a DNA construct that it a whole DNA
construct that can also encode part of the virus. The differences between these
subunits are the starting points.
b. In which category would you place the 1796 cow pox vaccination
strategy?
Live attenuated
c. How about the recent HPV vaccine?
Subunit
Why is it importans in some applications to pick the right production platform.
- the postrtranslational modifications, glycosylation (antibodies are always
glycosylated but they can be recognized as strange when over or under
glycosylated or just not properly recognized when over or under glycosylated, or
they cannot bind to the antigen anymore)
d. And how would you classify the recently applied COVID-19 vaccine
types?
Vector vaccines
Subunit vaccines
RNA vaccines
