Summary Introduction

To determine:

The logic behind the creation of a vaccine that targets host epithelial cell instead of viral antigens

Introduction:

Vaccination is a biological process in which an individual is immunized against a particular disease-causing agent in order to prevent the disease. The vaccine is prepared from a killed and weakened form of the pathogen that is similar to the disease-causing agent. This vaccine is injected into an individual in order to induce the immune system against the microbes.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The type of antigen that will come under such vaccine

Introduction:

Antigens are the substances that can initiate both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. These are the substance that triggers the production of antibodies. Antibodies are secreted by the plasma cells through the differentiation of B lymphocytes. These antibodies are specific to a particular antigen. Antibodies produced by B cells provide a defense to the body. So, this type of immunity is called antibody-mediated immunity.
