What Type of Vaccine Involves Host Synthesis of Viral Antigens

Question

What type of vaccine involves host synthesis of viral antigens?
A)conjugated vaccine
B)subunit vaccine
C)nucleic acid vaccine
D)attenuated whole-agent vaccine
E)toxoid vaccine

Accepted Answer

Nucleic acid vaccines, such as DNA and RNA vaccines, involve the host's cells taking up the nucleic acid and then using the host's cellular machinery to synthesize the viral antigen. This process mimics the natural infection process, leading to an immune response.
