Answer #1

A vaccine includes an attenuated or killed antigen injected in the body of the host to boost the immune system whereas a subunit vaccine comprises a part of an antigen that can be a protein or a peptide which are antigenic to boost the immune response.

Subunit vaccine against herpes simplex virus composed of the glycoprotein present in the viral envelope of HSV; it has been seen that this subunit vaccine is effective against both HSV-1 and HSV-2.

    You want to make a live virus vaccine against the COVID-19 virus by using zoonotic coronaviruses, i.e. coronaviruses that currently infect other species and therefore grow poorly in humans. i) What is the advantage of using a virus for the vaccine instead of just injecting spike protein from the COVID-19 virus ii) You obtain the DNA sequence of two coronaviruses that infect bats or foxes. The partial sequence of the spike protein from the human virus, and from these two...
