ABSTRACT
The focus of this chapter is on protein or recombinant protein-based subunit vaccines as those t in better with the overall scope of this book, especially since many of the products in development will have a therapeutic focus. Recombinant vaccines in development are listed in Table 10.1. Peptides and peptidomimetics are also in development as vaccines. Peptidomimetic vaccines contain antigenic fragments that mimic the antibody-binding site (Ho & Gibaldi, 2003). However, an introduction to vaccines in general will rst be provided.
