Recombinant vaccine information under protein subunit section

The article may benefit from making the information on recombinant subunit vaccines clearer and updating the relevant references. The parts mentioning recombinant subunit vaccines link to the overall vaccine page. No link is made to the article on recombinant DNA for further clarification on the topic. Two examples of recombinant subunit vaccines are Hepatitis B vaccine and HPV vaccine. HPV vaccine should be mentioned and linked. Hepatitis B vaccine should be linked again here. Both articles have information on the use of recombinant subunit vaccine technology for that vaccine. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_B_vaccine#Recombinant_vaccine

I'm including a reference that may be helpful as it has a section on recombinant vaccines with the 2 examples I included above. ^[1]

Proposed merge of Recombinant subunit vaccine into Subunit vaccine

Content fork. Original article is fairly short. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. Gold Broth (talk) 22:32, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added a note on natural subunit vaccine to distinguish the recombinant subunit. Mys_721tx (talk) 19:50, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

Hello, I am Salsabile GHAZALI a molecular biology and genetics master student and i am willing to edit this article assigned by our professor for Recent development in Biotechnology course from Uskudar University. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Uskudar_University,_Istanbul,_Turkiye/MLC501_Recent_Developments_in_Biotechnology_2022-2023_Fall_(2022-2023) Ghazalisalsabile (talk) 16:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction?

This article begins, "A subunit vaccine is a vaccine that contains purified parts of the pathogen that are antigenic, or necessary to elicit a protective immune response. A "subunit" vaccine doesn't contain the whole pathogen, unlike live attenuated or inactivated vaccine, . . .".

However, article Inactivated vaccine states, in section "Types", "Inactivated vaccines often refer to non-live vaccines. They are further classified depending on the method used to inactivate the pathogen:" and then lists four types, one of which is "Subunit vaccines". This seems to be a contradiction. Either a subunit vaccine is a type of inactivated vaccine, or it is not and shouldn't be listed as a type of inactivated vaccine.Hedles (talk) 14:25, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
