Why might genetically engineered vaccines be safer than traditionally made vaccines?

A live herpes virus, as it naturally occurs, has to be attenuated somehow to produce a safe vaccine so that it doesn't induce an undesireable active infection with outbreaks. The virus is genetically modified so that it will produce the desired immune response in the patient, while not causing problems. It is desirable that the virus remains latent in the patient to produce a continuing supply of antibodies while not producing active outbreaks, obviously. There is work ongoing relating to such live virus vaccines for herpes, but it will be several years, assuming any of them are successful, before any will be available.

How might these genetically-engineered crops impact the environment?
They will help the environment by allowing farmers to use fewer pesticides.
What is the average climate of the Shoshone Indians the shoshone?
it was hot, cold, dry, and wet all of them
Name three desirable traits that are being transferred into genetically engineered food crops How might these traits help to increase world food supplies?
This is scary. I have the exact same question for my bio homework.
Where do you buy genetically engineered seeds for a science project?
It might be difficult to buy genetically engineered seeds for a science project. The seeds are patented, so the company that created the GM seeds holds the rights to the seeds. Monsanto is one of those companies and in the past they have not allowed their seeds to be used for experimentation without their permission. You could; however, contact Monsanto or another company that has developed GM seeds and ask them if you could buy some for your project.
When they find a way to genetically engineer perfect children should the law require that everyone be able to get it or that everyone must get it?
The government should not be allowed to impose genetically engineered children on prospective parents, nor should the ability to get engineered children become a right. Rights mean that the government has to fund it. Requirement means selective breeding. The next step might be the termination of pregnancies where a less than perfect child might enter the new perfect world. Government is not God and should not be given the power to play one.
How might cloning be harmful genetically?
Yes there is.
Was the Eiffel Tower engineered?
Yes. Well, at least assuming I understand you question. If by "engineered" you mean that it was though out to work according to the laws of physics, then yes. Every building since the Renaissance (and many before) has been "engineered". Maybe a peasant hovel might no have been, but even your house was most likely "engineered".
How do you xxplain the medical reasons for cloning?
long story short, to research and see how things work.Cloning animal models of diseaseMuch of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice.Cloning stem cells for researchStem cells are the body's building blocks, responsible for developing, maintaining and repairing the body throughout life. As a result, they might be used to repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues.'"Pharming" for drug productionFarm animals such as cows, sheep and goats are currently being genetically engineered to produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine. Just like creating animal models of disease, cloning might be a faster way to produce large herds of genetically engineered animals.
What is e wood?
There is no trademarked or slang term that is called "e wood" that I am aware of. I might guess that you are referring to engineered hardwood. Engineered hardwood is a hardwood floor that is constructed in layers much like plywood. = =

Do blue-banded bees cross pollenate any fruit?
Blue-banded bees are not used for cross-pollination with genetically modified crops. Although it would be a very rare occurrence, they might visit genetically modified crops if they nest in the neighbourhood, and might crosspollinate them.
