Describe one experimental process used to manufacture a DNA vaccine for the SARS virus
What will be an ideal response?
To make the DNA vaccine, one of the virus's genes is isolated using recombinant DNA technology. The viral gene is injected into mice, where it directs the synthesis of a viral protein. The mouse's immune system responds by making antibodies against the protein, which protects the mouse against future infections with the SARS virus.
