Q65. With reference to recent developments regarding ‘Recombinant Vector Vaccines’, consider the following statements:

1. Genetic engineering is applied in the development of these vaccines.

2. Bacteria and viruses are used as vectors.

which of the statement given above is are correct?

A. 1 only

B. 2 only

C. Both 1 and 2

D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: c

Recombinant vaccines are products of genetic engineering, where a harmless agent such as yeast, is programed to produce antigens of harmful pathogens

Recombinant vector vaccines are live replicating viruses that are engineered to carry extra genes derived from a pathogen

One of the best DNA vaccine delivery systems uses a live bacterial vector as the carrier. The live bacterial vector induces a robust immune response
