Vaxvec

A vaccine vector is a weakened or killed version of a virus or bacterium that cannot cause disease in hosts (e.g., human) and is used in genetically engineered vaccines to transport genes coding for antigens into the body to induce an immune response. Vaxvec aims to collect and analyze vaccine vectors used in vaccine development and research for diseases important for the public health.疫苗载体（vaccine vector）指一类经减毒或灭活处理的病毒或细菌，无法在宿主（如人类）体内引发疾病，被应用于基因工程疫苗，用于将编码抗原的基因输送至体内以诱导免疫应答。Vaxvec数据集旨在收集并分析公共卫生重点疾病相关疫苗开发与研究中所使用的疫苗载体。
