Genetically engineered vaccines

About this book

Proceedings of a National Institute of Dental Research workshop held in November, 1991, in Bethesda, Maryland. While exploring the development of vaccines in the prevention of oral diseases, the papers address three key areas: optimizing the mucosal immune response; possible antigen delivery systems; and target antigens and immunological correlates of protection. Includes an update on vaccines currently available, a review of recent progress in vaccine development, and an overall discussion of oral diseases and host immune responses.
