Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inmunología
CONT

A diferencia de la mayoría de las vacunas convencionales, las vacunas VLP tienen pseudopartículas virales, pues carecen del material genético del patógeno y, por lo tanto, no hay riesgo de que se repliquen en las células del paciente ni de que se reviertan a su forma infecciosa.

OBS

vacuna VLP: Las siglas "VLP" provienen del término en inglés "virus-like particle vaccine".
