There is also some evidence that vaccination with the Novavax protein subunit vaccine might increase the risk of this rare side effect. Myocarditis and pericarditis are characterized by the sudden ...

Currently, there are two types of COVID-19 vaccines for use in the United States: mRNA vaccines and protein subunit vaccines. All COVID-19 vaccines provide protection from the virus that causes ...

A subunit vaccine makes use of just a small portion of a pathogen. For a virus, the vaccine can contain just a piece of the protein coat that surrounds the virus's DNA (or RNA). Even small portion ...

These fusion proteins are the basis of many subunit vaccines, a type in which a part of the pathogen being vaccinated against is injected to prompt the body to efficiently raise an immune response ...

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are being investigated as a novel alternative to the traditional vaccines currently available. VLPs are made entirely of proteins and thus would make non-infectious and ...

Researchers found a protein that's essential for an enterovirus to enter human cells. Although not the infamous example—that ...

The goal of these vaccines is to use a gene from a pathogen to generate an immune response. A gene contains the instructions to create a protein. With a genetic vaccine, small loops of DNA in the ...
