DNA vaccine, conceptual illustration
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) vaccine, conceptual illustration. The DNA codes for genes that make proteins that are present on the surface of the pathogen being vaccinated against. When injected, cells will take up the DNA and make these proteins, which will stimulate an immune response, causing the body to produce antibodies against the protein. This means that the body is primed to attack the pathogen should it be encountered after vaccination, preventing disease., by ELLA MARU STUDIO / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
