Potentials and Limitations in the Use of Ionizing Radiation in the Production of Vaccines,
Abstract
A brief explanation of potential effects of ionizing radiation on macromolecules of biological relevance is followed by an exposition of the most important applications of ionizing radiation. Reference is made also to the advantages and disadvantages of radio-sterilization which can be used in vaccine production. There is a number of possible applications for ionizing radiation in vaccine production, with the following two of them being discussed. (1) Preparation of radio-antigens and radio-vaccines; (2) Sterilization of final products in the vaccine industry.
