Title
Development of a Vaccine for Immunization Against Smallpox and Anthrax
Description
Abstract Development of a Vaccine for Immunization Against Smallpox and Anthrax Jason Maurice Cameron Biological weapons are often considered to be the most dangerous weapons of mass destruction because of there potential to infect huge numbers of people, who may then in turn infect others who were not even present at the point of initial impact. Among the most feared biological weapons are those that contain smallpox and anthrax because of these diseases' high rates of both infection and death. For this reason, the development of a vaccine that immunizes the receivers against both smallpox and anthrax would be great progress. This study seeks to develop such a vaccine by constructing a recombination plasmid that will introduce new genes that combat anthrax into the strain of vaccinia virus (VV), the virus used to vaccinate against smallpox. This study includes a highly detailed analysis of the various processes used to attempt this recombination and proposes plans further research into the subject.
