Vaccine

Biological or genetically engineered antigens are used alongside other additives to stimulate the organism's immune response as vaccines to protect against infections. Effective vaccine types, e.g. live vaccine, dead vaccine or genetic vaccines (e.g. RNA vaccines) can be produced with a wide variety of organisms. One of the newest and very efficient techniques to deliver pathogen components into the organism is transport by means of lipid nanoparticles.
