      disease, by inducing or increasing the natural immunity
      mechanisms. prior to 1995, such preparations usually
      contained killed organisms of the type for which immunity
      was desired, and sometimes used live organisms having
      attenuated virulence. since that date, preparations
      containing only specific antigenic portions of the
      pathogenic organism have also been used. some of these are
      prepared by genetic engineering techniques.
