today, vaccines are a routine part of healtcare. The course will
begin with a review of the history of vaccine development and
usage. To better understand this important medical innovation,
the basics in modern immunology, infectious disease, and antigen
identification will then be covered. The remainder of the course
will focus on vaccine strategies; the traditional killed and live
attenuated, vaccines and the modern molecular approaches such as
microbial vectored, DNAmediated, subunit, and synthetic vaccines.
The role of antigen presentation, adjuvants, and differential
T-cell and B-cell stimulation will be stressed. The course will
conclude with consideration of the challenges facing vaccine
development, including the belief of many parents that vaccine
use leads to autism and other diseases, financing vaccine R &
