Background:
- Vaccines are substances used to try to create resistance (or immunity) to a disease and
to prevent an infection. Researchers are testing a new DNA vaccine designed for a new
type of influenza, often referred to as swine flu. The DNA vaccine will instruct the
body to make a particular kind of influenza protein that the immune system will...
