Mucus contains lysozymes, enzymes that destroy bacterial cell walls. Neutrophils engulf virus (phogocytosis) and then release some enzymes to do the job like kill and digest. Eosinphils do also capable of phagocytosis, the same for Monocytes....

What is a dead or altered viruses or bacteria that are used to stimulate the body to be on alert are called?

This allows the body to recognize and fight the pathogen more effectively if encountered in the future.

How does the immune response to viruses differ from the immune response to bacteria?
It happens as our body do not have anti-bodies [ means the copy of the virus to make a trap for it ], but in bacterial it is done just by destroying as the bacteria do not conquer a tissue or a cell to make their army.
Can Gardasil cause HPV?
No. This is not possible. The Gardasil vaccine contains recombinant proteins from HPV to provoke an immune response. There are no live viruses, attenuated viruses or even dead viruses in the vaccine. The viral DNA is not present in any form.
What is the difference between the innate immune response and the acquired immune response?
An innate immune response is something that you are born with, while an acquired immune response is something that your body gains throughout life...
