Explanation:
A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) offer a number of ways of arriving at one of the primary goals of those who hold that the way ahead for vaccine development is the administration of a product which is completely defined in molecular terms. It must be said that most, if not all, of the vaccines which are currently licensed for use in man or his animals contain many thousands of different molecular species.
