| DNA molecules, recombinant | A combination of DNA molecules of different origin that are joined using recombinant DNA technology. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| DNA, recombinant | Biologically active DNA which has been formed by the in vitro joining of segments of DNA from different sources. It includes the recombination joint or edge of a heteroduplex region where two recombining DNA molecules are connected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA technology, recombinant | A series of procedures used to join together (recombine) DNA segments. A recombinant DNA molecule is constructed (recombined) from segments from 2 or more different DNA molecules. Under certain conditions, a recombinant DNA molecule can enter a cell and replicate there, autonomously (on its own) or after it has become integrated into a chromosome. (12 Dec 1998) |

| acellular vaccine | <immunology, pharmacology, virology> Vaccine consisting of antigenic parts of cells. (13 Nov 1997) |
| adjuvant vaccine | A vaccine that contains an adjuvant; most often the antigen (immunogen) is included in a water-in-oil emulsion (Freund incomplete type adjuvant), or is adsorbed onto an inorganic gel (alum, aluminum hydroxide or phosphate). (05 Mar 2000) |
| aqueous vaccine | A vaccine having a liquid vehicle (e.g., physiological salt solution) as distinguished from an emulsion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| attenuated vaccine | Live pathogens that have lost their virulence but are still capable of inducing a protective immune response to the virulent forms of the pathogen, e.g., Sabin polio vaccine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autogenous vaccine | A vaccine made from a culture of the patient's own bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |

| brucella strain 19 vaccine | A live bacterial vaccine prepared from an attenuated variant strain of Brucella abortus (strain 19); used for vaccinating cattle against brucellosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brucella vaccine | A bacterial vaccine for the prevention of brucellosis in man and animal. Brucella abortus vaccine is used for the immunization of cattle, sheep, and goats. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Calmette-Guerin vaccine | <drug> Live attenuated vaccine for tuberculosis. For groups and health care workers in high endemic areas. Not to be given to individuals with HIV infection. (15 Nov 1997) |
