live attenuated vaccine polio :: Article Creator Killed Vaccine: Polio Virus Step 1Use the tissue culture to grow new viruses.   The goal in creating a killed vaccine is to disable a pathogen's replicating ability (its ability to enter cells and multiply) while keeping intact its shape and other characteristics that will generate an immune response against the actual pathogen. When the body is exposed to the killed polio vaccine, its immune system will set up a defense that will attack any live polio viruses that it may encounter later. To produce this vaccine, you first need many copies of the polio virus. You can grow these in a tissue culture.
