3. Virus-Like Particle
This vaccines consist of viral proteins which derived from the structural proteins of a virus. These proteins can self-assemble the virus from which they were derived. However, they lack of nucleic acid which means that they are not infectious. Because of the way they are, this virus-like particles tend to be more immuogenic than subbunit (we are going to discuss this on the next post!). This virus is currently used to treat Hepatitis B and the human papillomavirus.
This vaccine sounds more awesome than the last one don't ya'll think? Share your thoughts down below and we'll talk about it more.
Till then.
