Vaccine: a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that it later encounters.
Learning Objectives: 1. Define SARS-CoV-2 immunity, antibody testing, and discuss what is known about the meaning of these tests 2. Identify challenges in doing research during social distan...
Learning Objectives: 1. Learn what RNA and DNA vaccines are and why they are ideal vaccine strategies to respond rapidly to pandemics 2. Understand the key requirements of an effective vacci...
