Recombinant vaccine information under protein subunit section
The article may benefit from making the information on recombinant subunit vaccines clearer and updating the relevant references. The parts mentioning
I'm including a reference that may be helpful as it has a section on recombinant vaccines with the 2 examples I included above. [1]

Proposed merge of Recombinant subunit vaccine into Subunit vaccine

Greetings
Hello, I am Salsabile GHAZALI a molecular biology and genetics master student and i am willing to edit this article assigned by our professor for Recent development in Biotechnology course from Uskudar University. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Uskudar_University,_Istanbul,_Turkiye/MLC501_Recent_Developments_in_Biotechnology_2022-2023_Fall_(2022-2023) Ghazalisalsabile (talk) 16:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Contradiction?
This article begins, "A subunit vaccine is a vaccine that contains purified parts of the pathogen that are antigenic, or necessary to elicit a protective immune response. A "subunit" vaccine doesn't contain the whole pathogen, unlike live attenuated or inactivated vaccine, . . .".
However, article Inactivated vaccine states, in section "Types", "Inactivated vaccines often refer to non-live vaccines. They are further classified depending on the method used to inactivate the pathogen:" and then lists four types, one of which is "Subunit vaccines". This seems to be a contradiction. Either a subunit vaccine is a type of inactivated vaccine, or it is not and shouldn't be listed as a type of inactivated vaccine.Hedles (talk) 14:25, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
