Understanding the Novavax Vaccine

Which type of vaccine is Novavax classified as?

• mRNA vaccine

• Vector vaccine

• Protein subunit vaccine

• Live attenuated vaccine

What is the initial step in the production of the Novavax vaccine?

• Encapsulation in lipid nanoparticles

• Insertion of DNA into an insect virus

• Extraction of saponin from the soap bark tree

• Use of an adenovirus as a vehicle

What role do adjuvants play in the Novavax vaccine?

• They act as a protein production factory

• They encapsulate mRNA

• They enhance the immune response

• They transport DNA into the body

How does the Novavax vaccine trigger an immune response?

• By using lipid nanoparticles

• By directly attacking the virus

• By presenting antigens to T helper cells

• By producing live virus particles

What is the primary function of the T helper cells in response to the Novavax vaccine?

• To produce antibodies directly

• To stimulate B cells and cytotoxic T cells

• To transport the vaccine to the nucleus

• To encapsulate the virus
