Opis

This popular book delineates how a vaccine develops from an idea in a researcher's imagination, to the lab bench, through preclinical evaluation, and into the clinic for safety and immunogenicity. Based on the results of the editors' own efforts to glean practical information on the steps necessary to manufacture, bottle, and test their vaccines for clinical trials, the book provides answers to numerous questions posed by researchers. The chapters outline basic approaches to vaccine development in its earliest stages, explain how to set up quantitative assessments of antibody responses to vaccines, and give helpful hints on making vaccines in the laboratory.
