BIOTECHNOLOGICAL METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF VACCINES AND ANTIVIRAL PREPARATIONS
Keywords:
Biotechnology, vaccines, antiviral preparations, recombinant DNA technology, mRNA vaccines, cell culture, monoclonal antibodies, interferons, genetic engineering, viral diseases.Abstract
This article discusses the role of biotechnology in the development and production of vaccines and antiviral preparations. The scientific principles and practical applications of modern biotechnological methods used in preventing and controlling viral diseases are analyzed. Particular attention is given to recombinant DNA technology, cell culture techniques, genetic engineering, and mRNA-based platforms employed in vaccine development. In addition, the production of antiviral agents through biotechnological approaches, including monoclonal antibodies, interferons, and antiviral proteins, is examined. The advantages, limitations, and future prospects of these technologies in strengthening global health security and improving responses to emerging infectious diseases are also highlighted.
