Types of vaccine :- • Toxide :- • Inactivated toxic compounds that cause illness rather than the micro-organism. • Examples of toxoid-based vaccines include tetanus and diphtheria. . • Conjugate vaccines :- • Poorly immunogenic bacteria polysaccharide linked (conjugated ) with proteins (e.g. toxins), Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine.
Subunit vaccine:- • Protein subunit- a fragment of the organism is used to create an immune response. • Hepatitis B vaccine- subunit vaccine composed of only the surface proteins of virus . • Human papillomavirus (HPV) viral major capsid protein . 2.
