Vaccines are medicines that boost the immune system's natural ability to protect the body against âforeign invaders,â mainly infectious agents, that may cause disease. The immune system is a complex network of organs, tissues, and specialized cells that act collectively to defend the body.ancer preventive vaccines target infectious agents that cause or contribute to the development of cancer (8). They are similar to traditional vaccines, which help prevent infectious diseases, such as measles or polio, by protecting the body against infection.
3. Subunit vaccine-presents an antigen to the immune system without introducing viral particles. A weakness of this technique is that isolated proteins can be denatured and will then bind to different antibodies then the proteins in the virus. A vaccine is a biological preparation that establishes or improves immunity to a particular disease. Vaccines can prevent or ameliorate the effects of infection by a pathogen.
