title: A short review of biotechnological methods of relevance to modern vaccine development.
abstract: The development of new methods and techniques in biotechnology over the last two decades has opened the way for fresh strategies to develop new and better vaccines. The relevant techniques have been developed through important discoveries in immunology, gene technology and polymer chemistry. The purpose of this short review is to discuss these techniques in the light of vaccine development, without going into details regarding each specific disease and vaccine.
