| 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) |

| rabies vaccine | An inactivated virus vaccine, used for preexposure immunization to persons at high risk of exposure, e.g., veterinarians, and in conjunction with rabies immunoglobulin, for postexposure prophylaxis. The official preparation is human diploid cell vaccine produced from rabies virus grown in cultures of human diploid embryo lung cells and inactivated with propriolactone. It has a much lower incidence of adverse reactions than the previously used duck embryo vaccine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaccine | <pharmacology> A suspension of attenuated or killed microorganisms (bacteria, viruses or rickettsiae), administered for the prevention, amelioration or treatment of infectious diseases. Origin: L. Vaccinus (18 Nov 1997) |
