Vaccines 2009-05-15 .txt text/plain 21170 897 33 Because a number of proteins produced in isolation by recombinant methods have been observed to elicit lower immune responses than do natural infections or live attenuated vaccines, the development and use of adjuvants to optimize recombinant vaccine immunogenicity represent an important parallel area for future exploration. Modern molecular biology and biochemistry have provided numerous options for vaccine immunogen presentation, including recombinant proteins (and recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs)), synthetic proteins, protein-polysaccharide conjugates, and gene delivery systems (recombinant viral vectors, or DNA vaccines) >> Is the antigen of interest sufficiently immunogenic on its own, or is augmentation of the desired immune response by conjugation to a specific carrier or addition of an adjuvant necessary to elicit a sufficient and sufficiently durable immune response in individuals in the target population for vaccination? ./cache/cord-021966-5m21bsrw.txt ./txt/cord-021966-5m21bsrw.txt
