- Title
The development of vaccines: how the past led to the future.
- Authors
Plotkin, Stanley A.; Plotkin, Susan L.
- Abstract
The history of vaccine development has seen many accomplishments, but there are still many diseases that are difficult to target, and new technologies are being brought to bear on them. Past successes have been largely due to elicitation of protective antibodies based on predictions made from the study of animal models, natural infections and seroepidemiology. Those predictions have often been correct, as indicated by the decline of many infections for which vaccines have been made over the past 200 years.
