What is the technology used to generate Virus-like particles as vaccines for cancer?
Hey there!
This right here is a very interesting question, so thank you for asking.
The technology used here is recombinant genome technology where scientists use plasmids with genes from the virus which will only code the outer shell but not let it have any of its proteins that will make it lethal. In other words, they make the virus unarmed to cause a serious infection. Also, there should be a specific cell line to help you produce such VLPs.
But before that, the scientist must know the genome construct of the virus, how its genome is organised, how the genes are expressed and who does the virus relate to. Once they know that, they can do the above, but believe me, it can involve a lot of trial and error and reading many papers to get ideas on how to make such an experiment successful.
I can give one great example, the making of the third type of polio vaccine using the VLP technology where the virus is just an empty husk and lacking an entire genome.
Hopefully, I was able to answer your question! 😄
What else can I help you with?
What has the author T W Osborn written?
T. W. Osborn has written: 'The enumeration of viable particles in B.C.G. vaccines' -- subject(s): BCG vaccines
What is recent technology?
Recent technology is technology that is brand new and may not be perfect yet. For example, iphone 4, iPad, certain medicines and vaccines.
What is a killed virus vaccines?
Cholera Vaccine. Flu vaccines formulated for injection use inert/inactive virus particles ("dead"), while flu vaccines for nasal mist are made as a LAIV (live attenuated influenza vaccine), which means they are "alive" but weakened chemically to prevent them from being able to cause illness.
What is meant by egg based technology for making vaccines?
Vaccine is made by growing germs then purifying them for injection. "Egg based technology" means they grow them in eggs.
What are cell culture based vaccines?
Cell culture-based vaccines are vaccines that are produced using cell cultures rather than traditional methods involving live organisms or eggs. By using cell cultures, these vaccines can be produced more rapidly, with greater consistency and purity. This technology also reduces the risk of contamination and allows for the production of vaccines against viruses that cannot be easily grown in eggs.
What is made up of dead or weakened virus or virus particles?
a virus is a nonliving particle that invades a cell and reporduses of the cell. then a few days later the cell explodes and viruses spred everywere.
What are edible vaccines?
Edible vaccines are vaccines produced in plants genetically modified through bioengineering.
Is vaccine a technology?
Yes, a vaccine can be considered a technology as it involves the application of scientific knowledge and techniques to develop a biological product that stimulates an immune response. Vaccines utilize various methods, such as inactivated or weakened pathogens, or genetic material, to train the immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases. The development and production of vaccines also rely on advanced biotechnological processes and research.
What is the difference between vaccine conjugate and Polysaccharide vaccine?
Vaccines use different types of vaccination technology - Polysaccharide and Conjugate are different types of technologies. It is generally considered that Conjugate vaccines provide superior long-term protection versus Polysaccharide vaccines because of the mechanism by which they create an antibody response. While polysaccharide vaccines may offer individual protection, they do not provide the same level of "herd immunity" (i.e. non-immunized individuals provided protection due to number of immunized individulas in community) provided by Conjugate vaccines.
Do vaccines cause AIDS?
Vaccines do not cause AIDS.
Are there helpful bacteria in the H1N1 09 vaccine?
No, the vaccines are purified and treated to remove any such contaminants. Any bacteria mixed in with the virus and vaccine medium would not be helpful, the multi-use vials of vaccines contain preservatives to prevent bacterial growth.The H1N1/09 influenza is caused by a virus. Some particles of "dead" H1N1/09 virus (or in some types of the vaccines-weakened live virus), are the active ingredient in the vaccines that make our bodies become immune to that specific virus. Bacteria play no role in this process.
What Vaccines can help protect against viruses by triggering the production of?
Vaccines that help protect against viruses do so by triggering the production of antibodies, which are proteins that recognize and neutralize pathogens. Examples include the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, which instruct cells to produce a harmless piece of the virus, prompting an immune response. Other vaccines, such as those for influenza and hepatitis B, also stimulate the immune system to generate lasting protection against specific viral infections. This process enhances the body's ability to respond to future exposures to the actual virus.
