Technological advances, together with a better understanding of the molecular biology of infectious microorganisms, are creating exciting possibilities for a new generation of replicating vaccines. Historically, live vaccines have been either directly derived from a natural source or attenuated by empirical approaches using serial passages and host cell adaptation. Currently, we are witnessing a quantum leap in our technological capabilities to specifically modify the genetic make-up of viruses and bacteria, making it possible to generate improved live vaccines and to develop completely new types of replicating vaccines, such as vectored vaccines, single-round infectious vaccines and replicon vaccines.

Reviews for Replicating Vaccines
From the reviews: “This book introduces the current thinking on rational attenuation and this important theme runs through the book, tying the chapters together very nicely. … Given the renaissance in vaccinology this is a timely volume which … makes judicious use of selected examples to highlight key aspects of this burgeoning field. This book is both a useful ... Read more
