1) Vaccine is a preparation (or suspension) of a dead/attenuated pathogen of a disease which on inoculation (or injection) into a healthy person , provides  temporary/permanent  active/passive imunity by inducing antibodies formation  

2) Immunisation is the process by which the body produces antibodies against the vaccine preventable diseases through administration of specific vaccines 

3) The principle of immunisation or vaccination is based on the property of 'memory' of the immune system 

4) If a person is infected with some deadly microbes to which quick immune response is required ; in that case , we need to directly inject the performed antibodies or antitoxins e.g , in case of tetanus

Purpose of Biotechnology
  • Biotechnology essentially deals with industrial-scale production of biopharmaceuticals and biologicals using genetically modified microbes, fungi, plants and animals.
  • The applications of biotechnology include:
    • therapeutics, 
    • diagnostics, 
    • genetically modified crops for agriculture, 
    • processed food, 
    • bioremediation, 
    • waste treatment, and 
    • energy production.
  • Three critical research areas of biotechnology are:
    • Providing the best catalyst in the form of the improved organism is usually a microbe or pure enzyme.
    • Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act, and
    • Downstream processing technologies to purify the protein/organic compound.
  • Plants, bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).
