Subunit vaccine

Subunit vaccine

A subunit vaccine is a vaccine that contains only the minimal microbial elements necessary to stimulate long-lasting protective immune response.

For example;

Hepatitis B vaccine

Lyme disease vaccine


For example; A vaccine containing pili of N. gonorrhoea could stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that would attach to the pili of N. gonorrhoea and prevent its attachment to genitourinary cell and hence prevents gonorrhoea infection.
