Q
what is a conjugate vaccine?
A
allows T cell help for polysaccharide conjugated to a protein
something with low antigenic property bound to something with a high antigenic property
can alter the immune response to get TH cells involved and switch to a T dependent immune response

A
mRNA vaccines
viral vector vaccines
DNA vaccines
VLP
5

mRNA vaccines
different temperature regulation and delivery mechanisms
6
