CONT

A DNA vaccine is a substance that is composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and encodes antigens. After administration of the DNA, antigens are produced and stimulate an immune response.

OBS

After the DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] vaccine is administered, the DNA contained in the vaccine is transcribed into RNA [ribonucleic acid] in a cell without entering the nucleus. The RNA is then translated to produce antigens that will stimulate the immune response. Since the vaccine does not contain the whole virus, it does not cause infection.

Key term(s)
  • desoxyribonucleic acid vaccine
  • desoxyribonucleic acid-based vaccine

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
OBS

Après l'administration du vaccin à ADN [acide désoxyribonucléique], l'ADN contenu dans le vaccin est transcrit en ARN [acide ribonucléique] dans une cellule sans pénétrer dans le noyau. L'ARN est ensuite traduit pour produire des antigènes qui stimuleront la réponse immunitaire. Étant donné que le vaccin ne contient pas le virus entier, il ne cause pas d'infection.
