Virologists are developing cell culture-based vaccine technology that is more rapid than the egg-based growth system presently used to create vaccines. The technology involves introducing membrane-bound immune-system stimulatory molecules such as cytokines into cells in such a way that the virus will incorporate them as part of its envelope.
