9780128025420 English 0128025425 Emergent Technologies in Vaccine Design, Development and Delivery, For the past hundred years, vaccines were largely made by the same method: inactivating or attenuating whole microorganisms. In the past two decades, advances in molecular biology, biophysics, and informatics-among other disciplines-have provided scientists with the tools to create new vaccines against emerging and re-emerging pathogens. For example, virus-like particle technologies that led to licensing of highly efficacious HPV vaccines have only come into full realization in the last 10 years. Their success has, in turn, accelerated the pace with which nanoparticle vaccines are being developed. Given the rapidity with which the field is changing and the absence of any text documenting this change, there is a need for a resource that surveys these new vaccine technologies, assesses their potential, and describes their applications. Human Vaccines: Emerging Technologies in Design and Development provides that resource and complements traditional vaccinology books, but also serves as an excellent standalone for researchers/students with basic knowledge in immunology. Introduces new topics in vaccine immunology in the context vaccine design and production Consolidates the growing body of knowledge on new vaccine technologies that have only emerged in the past 2 - 3 decades Reviews the currently licensed vaccines that have utilized leading-edge technologies and how this has translated into improved efficacy and safety Provides a broad overview on innovative vaccine technologies, including immunological aspects, Given the rapidity with which the field is changing and the absence of any text documenting this change, there is a need for the book: Emergent Technologies in Vaccine: Design, Development and Delivery that surveys these new vaccine technologies, assesses their potential, and describes their applications.
