Vaccines 96: Molecular Approaches to the Control of Infectious Diseases - Tapa blanda

Addresses the situation that, while many infectious diseases are controlled by vaccines, the vaccines are almost without exception still made from the causal agents of the diseases themselves, rather than from other sources that could be safer and cheaper. Covers immunity and viruses, DNA immunization, bacterial vaccines, recombinant antibodies, mucosal immunity and delivery systems, parasite vaccines, and HIV. The 56 were presented at a conference at Cold Spring Harbor in September 1995. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
