Non-replicating viral vector vaccines use a killed viral vector to deliver the viral genetic blueprint into cells. Since the vector cannot replicate, in general this type of vaccine does not provide as long-lasting immunity as replicating viral vector vaccines. Therefore, booster shots may be needed to provide ongoing protection against the virus. 5, record 1, English, - non%2Dreplicating%20viral%20vector%20vaccine

Replicating viral vector vaccines use a live but weakened viral vector to carry the viral genetic blueprint into cells. Since the viral vector can replicate within cells, the production of viral proteins will be robust, in general producing a stronger immune response against the virus than with a non-replicating viral vector. 3, record 2, English, - replicating%20viral%20vector%20vaccine

For a viral vector vaccine, non-HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] viruses are used to carry genes that tell the body to make some HIV proteins. These viral vectors don't cause disease in people. The genes are inserted into the vector, which carries them into the body's cells. 3, record 3, English, - viral%20vector%20vaccine

En l'état actuel, le virus H5N1 de la grippe aviaire, une souche hautement pathogène, n'est pas transmissible à l'homme. Mais cela pourrait devenir le cas si ce virus entre en contact avec le virus H3N2 de la grippe qui sévit actuellement en Europe. Un virus recombinant pourrait infecter l'homme et serait alors transmissible d'homme à homme par voie respiratoire. Le virus H3N2 est d'ailleurs déjà un virus recombinant apparu dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. 2, record 5, French, - virus%20recombinant

Desde hace décadas se conoce la fabricación de la vacuna contra la gripe. Consiste en inyectar en un huevo de gallina fertilizado el virus gripal contra el que estará dirigida la vacuna y una cepa viral de laboratorio inofensiva pero que se multiplica muy rápidamente. Los dos virus intercambian sus genes y forman un virus recombinante que posee a la vez las capacidades de multiplicación de la cepa neutra y los genes H y N que determinan la patogenicidad del virus responsable de la enfermedad en el hombre o en el animal. 3, record 5, Spanish, - virus%20recombinante

Para desarrollar esta vacuna se están usando las cepas del virus de la gripe que afectan únicamente al Hemisferio Sur. [...] el trabajo consiste en aislar el material genético o ARN (ácido ribonucleico) del virus de la influenza y, por un proceso especial, transformarlo en ADN (o ácido desoxirribonucleico). "Posteriormente, se utiliza el ADN del virus y se mezcla con el trocito del virus de la influenza que se aisló y que se transformó también en ADN; aquí es cuando se produce la recombinación, es decir, ambos ADN se unieron. Se obtiene un virus recombinante [...] 4, record 5, Spanish, - virus%20recombinante
