One way to produce a vaccine is to heat a virus or bacteria and then inject the inactive pathogen as a vaccination How would the heat inactivate a virus?

It is grown in living cells and the antigens that cell makes are what will be in the vaccine. These then are purified and stabilized. The Salk vaccine involves using viruses that have been inactivated by using formalin. Heat would not inactive the virus.

What is the name of the process when a person is immunised against a disease by injecting them with an inactive form of a pathogen?
vaccination
How does injecting an inactive form of pathogen make a person immune?
the inactive form still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on the surface. the immune system develops specific responses to this pathogen when it is encountered after a vaccination. as it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
You are given a what when you are inoculated with a weakened pathogen?
vaccine or vaccination
How does being injected with a inactive form of pathogen make you immune to the disease?
The inactive form of the pathogen still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on their surface. Antibodies locate the pathogen and create the correct form of antibody to combat it. As it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
A pathogen that is inactive unless it is inside a living cell is?
A virus.
What is the name of bacteria that cause disease?
They are called "bacterial pathogens".
What is an pathogen to measles?
Technically a 'pathogen' IS measels. A pathogen is a fancy name for Bacteria. And a pathogen is a bacteria that IS a certin disease. Hencforth, the answer to your question would be measles IS its own pathogen.
What is vaccination and how does it work?
In a vaccination you will receive a version of the pathogen (disease) that can not make you sick because it is inactive or significantly weakened. It will be introduced into your body with an injection or sometimes using oral or nasal formulations. Your immune system will then produce antibodies, which will kill or deactivate the introduced pathogen. Therefore, if an active/live pathogen would enter your body later, your immune system would be quickly able to produce more of the same type of antibodies, as they will recognizethe organism that caused the infection and know what antibodies will work on it. Boosters then might be used over the years to essentially remind the immune system how to defend your body against the pathogen.
What is A pathogen that is inactive unless it is inside of a living cell called?
A virus
What type of pathogen cause CHD?
Sometimes bacteria is the pathogen involved.
How is pathogen and provirus related?
The term pathogen most commonly is used to refer to infectious organisms. The inactive form of a virus is called a provirus. -ChaCha Answers
