How to Make a Swine Flu Vaccine

Esco

An Esco biological safety cabinet was used at the UK's National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) in Hertfordshire, for the development of a swine flu vaccine.

The NIBSC is one of a small group of influenza centres around the world which will create a seed vaccine strain which could then be grown in bulk by manufacturers. The NIBSC is part of the UK's Health Protection Agency.
