    Document: Our immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work in harmony to protect the body against deadly diseases. This immune system attacks and eliminates foreign invading particles with exquisite specificity. Diseases are caused by malfunctioning or underperforming immune response; an over-reactive immune system can cause autoimmunity, which may lead to the destruction of healthy tissue [1, 2] , and an underactive immune system can make our body more susceptible to infection [3] . Vaccines consist of a biological agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and improves immunity against that particular disease. They develop immunity that can control and adjust unbalanced immune systems that are either overreactive or underactive [4] [5] [6] . Weiner et al. described the first therapeutic vaccine against autoimmunity [7] . The development of vaccines has historically been based on Louis Pasteur's "isolate, inactivate, inject" paradigm [8] . Currently, vaccines are considered to be one of the most effective tools for the prevention of infectious diseases. Thus, vaccine developments against bacterial infections, viral infections, and cancer are considered to be significant milestones in the field of medicine [9] . In the past, traditional vaccines made from pathogens in either killed or inactivated forms were considered efficient [8, 10] .
