Best Answer

A virus has a protein coat that covers it's genetic center. It acts as a protection but also it can match certain proteins it has with ones on the host cell. Thereby "unlocking" the door.

What is the difference between conjugated and unconjugated vaccines?

Conjugate - certain bacteria have polysaccharide outer coats that are poorly immunogenic.

This approach is used in the Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine. [Wikipedia]
