Question

Given below are two statements: Assertion (A): Heat inactivation of vaccine is generally performed. Reason (R): It causes extensive denaturation of Protein.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Heat can denature proteins and destroy antigenic properties. Therefore, vaccine inactivation is often done by controlled chemical methods rather than simple heating.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
