What is a recombinant DNA vaccine? Give two examples.
A vaccine, which is prepared by using recombinant DNA technology, is called an rDNA vaccine. Enzo Paolette and Dennis Panicali from New York State Department of Health were able to transform smallpox vaccine so that it could be effective against some other diseases.
Thus, they were the pioneers in making rDNA vaccine. Hepatitis B vaccine and the HPV vaccine are two examples of rDNA vaccines.
