Abstract
An efficacious way to avoid atleast a bunch of infections by microbes is to neutralize the microbial infection right at the very beginning. This is well achieved by vaccination against many infectious agents. While vaccine is available for many pathogenic micro-organisms, we are still struggling to achieve success to develop prophylactic strategies for many others. Most commonly vaccines are developed by attenuation/ inactivation of infectious agents or by using killed pathogens. Yet another variety of vaccines include the subunit vaccine. In this review a subcategory of subunit vaccine has been discussed where the viral surface antigens when displayed in a rigid multivalent fashion at high densities, induce very potent and robust neutralizing antibody response as a result of very strong and extensive cross-linking of B-cell receptors.
