Question

the polio vaccine is created by denaturing the viral dna with radiation. the outer protein coat is used to develop a vaccine. this shell contains recognizable antigens on its surface that generates an immune response but does not cause disease. to which class does this vaccine belong? subunit viral vector live, attenuated inactivated

Explanation:

• Subunit vaccines use specific parts (like the outer protein coat with antigens here) of the pathogen.
• Viral vector vaccines use a different virus as a vector.
• Live, attenuated vaccines use a weakened live virus.
• Inactivated vaccines use a killed virus (but here it's about using a part - the protein coat).

Answer:

subunit
