Summary Introduction

To describe:

The three ways by which genetic recombination techniques can be used for developing safe and effective vaccines.

Introduction:

Vaccines are the biological preparations that are responsible for providing active immunity against any disease (particularly). It resembles like the microorganisms that causes the disease. It is prepared by killing or attenuating the microbe. Any individual could be immune to a disease (infectious) by 2 artificial methods; passive and active immunization. Genetic recombination techniques are also used for the formation of vaccines.
