About the Book:

Development of Vaccines: sets forth the issues and the challenges of vaccine development and the solutions needed to seamlessly advance a biologic drug formulation from discovery through al the essential steps that lead to a successful clinical vaccine trial. the authors skillfully guide you through everything you need to know, including current analytical tools and techniques, vaccine expression, purification, formulation, and preclinical testing, Not only does the book guide you through lab work, it also explaigulatory submissions process, helping you gather and report the necessary data.

            Divided into five sections, this book serves as a reference to all the  critical steps that take place form discovery to clinical trials:

·         Details all the tools needed for immunogen design and development

·         Investigates vaccine platforms, including virus-like particles, nanocapsules, DNA Vaccines, and protein expression and purification

·         Explains the spectroscopy and biophysics techniques needed or accurate immunogen charcterization

·         Demonstrates how to optimize formulations and evaluate stability

·         Details all the steps needed to file a new application for clinical vaccine testing

Contents:

Part 1: Immunogen Design

Part 2: Vaccine Platforms

Part 3: Characterization of Immunogens

Part 4: Formulation Optimization And Stability Evaluation
