Vaccine production

DNA vaccine production. Technician checking the quality of a sample of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. Traditional hepatitis vaccine contains the full virus, which could potentially become active and infect patients. A recombinant vaccine is made by inserting a piece of DNA from the virus into another organism, such as a bacterium. The viral protein is expressed by the genetically modified (GM) bacterium and purified for use as a vaccine. Because the vaccine only contains a viral protein, and not the whole virus, there is no risk of the virus becoming active.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of DNA vaccine production, specifically focusing on the quality check of a sample of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. In contrast to traditional vaccines that contain the entire virus, which poses a risk of becoming active and infecting patients, this innovative approach involves inserting a fragment of viral DNA into another organism like a bacterium. At Shantha Biotechnics in Hyderabad, India, an expert technician can be seen diligently examining the purity and efficacy of this genetically modified (GM) bacterium-produced viral protein. The meticulous testing ensures that only the desired component is isolated for use as a safe and effective vaccine. The image showcases the dedication and expertise required in biotechnology research and manufacturing. It highlights the collaboration between scientists, researchers, engineers, and laboratory workers who work tirelessly to develop cutting-edge medical solutions. With its focus on health advancements through genetic modification techniques such as culturing bacteria for analysis purposes, this photograph represents how technology intersects with biology to improve prophylaxis against diseases like hepatitis B. It also emphasizes quality control measures implemented by biopharmaceutical companies like Shantha Biotechnics to ensure safe medical products reach patients worldwide. Overall, this visually striking image from Science Photo Library encapsulates both the scientific innovation taking place at Shantha Biotechnics and their commitment to improving global healthcare through biotechnological advancements.
