How does the immune system respond to the throat cancer?
Cancer is somewhat confusing to the immune system since it is an aberrant form of the body's own cells which the immune system is not supposed to attack. Sometimes the immune system can detect that the cancer cell is not a normal part of the body, and therefore it will destroy the cancer, but quite often the immune system cannot detect the abnormality of the cancer cell and will ignore it. That is precisely why cancer is so dangerous.

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.
