No, antibodies are produced by your body as an immune response to an outside threat. A vaccine is--or used to be--just a weakened outside threat introduced internally so that your body may develop immunity to it. Pass on the Mercury and aluminum, though, thanks.

What is a particulate antigen?
which is specific to a particular antibody which is specific to a particular antibody which is specific to a particular antibody
Give you a sentence using the word antibody?
The doctor suggested that I take an antibody for the flu I caught over vacation.
What is a sentence for antibody?
Ann antibody is a complex protein molecule. Our immune system uses antibodies to fight bacteria.
What is the effect of not including the antigen or the primary antibody in the ELISA reaction?
Not including the antigen will prevent the primary antibody from binding to it which will disrupt the results of the ELISA. Not including the primary antibody will prevent the secondary antibody from binding it, which will again negatively affect the results of the ELISA. All components are necessary to get an accurate ELISA.
What is the ICD-9 code for antiphospholipid syndrome?
ICD-9 under syndrome, antiphospholipid antibody or anticardiolipin antibody 289.81
What is the term that refers to the use of dead or attenuated pathogens to stimulate antibody production?
A vaccine.
Can you test positive if you had chickenpox vaccine but never had chickenpox?
A person with a history of chickenpox or history of chickenpox vaccine will typically have a positive antibody test for chickenpox.
Can a new unrelated peptide antigen can be used along with live vaccine to raise antibody against both?

What is an example of passive immunity?
Passive immunity happens when the antibody is already given to you. For example, the antibody that can be passed from mother to child. That is a natural passive immunity. The vaccine given to you when had rabies is also an example of passive immunity because again, what is given to you is already an antibody.
What is a antonym for antibody?
the answer is unibodysoilder of bodyprotectorImmunoglobin
Why does a child need 4 doses of the pneumococcal vaccine?
The reason why any vaccine needs to be given more than once (excepting the flu vaccine, which changes every year) is that researchers have found the each vaccination will only increase antibody levels by a certain percentage. Repeated "booster" shots increase this antibody production throughout adolescence to attain the optimal level of antibodies considered effective against that disease.
What does it mean when your doctor says you dont have much tetanus antibody in your body?
It means your tetanus vaccine is wearing off, and you should get another one.
What is a substance usually a protein that causes the formation of an antibody and reacts specifically with that antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).
What is the difference between whole cell pertussis and acellular pertussis?
There was no statistical difference in mouse protective potency between these acellular or whole cell pertussis vaccines. 2. There were no differences in chemical ingredients between acellular and whole cell pertussis vaccines except for protein nitrogen content. The protein nitrogen content of whole cell vaccine was at least three times higher than that of the acellular product. 3. Anti-PT antibody productivity of the acellular vaccine was higher than that of the whole cell vaccine. 4. Anti-agglutinogen antibody productivity of the whole cell vaccine was higher than that of the acellular vaccine. 5. There was no pyrogenic activity with the acellular vaccine, but high pyrogenicity was seen with whole cell vaccine. 6. There was high body-weight decreasing toxicity in mice and guinea pigs by the whole cell vaccine. 7. The mice died when they received whole cell pertussis vaccine iv, but no deaths occurred in the mice which received acellular pertussis vaccine.
What is a example of Immunity's?
An example of active immunity is the oral polio vaccine because it's a live attenuated vaccine. It means that, weakened polio virus will be given to you so that your body can form antibodies from it and can fight the virus. If your body itself made the antibody from an antigen, it's an example of an active immunity.
What are the differences between antigens and vaccine?
Administration of a vaccine prevents you catching a specific disease in the future.An antidote is administered to to reverse the effects of a poison that has entered or may enter your body.
Is glycoprotein an antigen or antibody?
Antibody
