Can antigenic proteins from certain pathogen be used for vaccines?
Yes, that is exactly how cell/virus free vaccines are made. They usually have much milder side effects than vaccines containing whole (killed or attenuated) cells or viruses.
Vaccines are effective in preventing disease because they?
Vaccines are for the purpose of disease prevention. Vaccination is the process of introducing harmless pathogens to the body for a response trigger without an actual infection. Vaccines are either composed of: *dead pathogens *weakened pathogens *protiens from the target pathogens
Are made using weakened pathogens?
Vaccines.
What and which are the antigenic characeristics of mareks disease?
Current vaccines use a combination of vaccines consisting of HVT, attenuated MDV strain and gallid herpesvirus type 3. These are the antigens that are found and protect the chicken flock.
What are Weak pathogens injected into your blood called?
Some vaccines are really just a weakened form of the disease. These are called attenuated vaccines.
Do vaccines destroy viruses only?
Vaccines do not destroy pathogens, they give the immune system antibodies so it can destroy a pathogen before it causes an infection. Vaccines do exist for some bacterial infections.
These are made from destroyed or fragmented pathogens containing a unique protein to trigger an immune response?
vaccines
The preparation of dead or weakened pathogens that causes the immune system to produce anitbodies?
vaccine
Definition of the conventional vaccines?
Conventional vaccines consist of whole pathogenic organisms, which may either be killed or live vaccines; the virulence of pathogens is greatly reduced in attenuated vaccines. This is classified into 2 categories :a)Live or attenuated vaccines; (eg : BCG vaccine)b)Inactivated vaccines (eg : Salk polio & Pertussisvaccines)
What is the importance of immunisation and the vaccines given?
To get your immune system prepared if the same pathogens attack your body again.
What does vaccine and pathogenic have in common?
Vaccines are for preventing infections. Infections are pathogenic (caused by germs). Vaccines help your body prepare to fight specific pathogens, e.g., bacteria and viruses.
Is a vaccine injected to the skin?
No, vaccines are not injected into the skin. Most vaccines are administered through injection into the muscle or subcutaneous tissue (under the skin). Some vaccines are also given orally or nasally.
