Will herpes antibodies help protect against getting the same strain elsewhere on the body?

It's not having antibodies, that doesn't give you immunity to getting it else where. Herpes is a very localized infection, it also doesn't live out side of the body for more then a few seconds so you're unlikely to pass it to other locations by your self. Also herpes doesn't often live on dry parts of the body, it likes to live in mucous membranes. For example if you have it on the mouth then you would have to touch a break out then with in seconds touch some where like your eyes or genitals.

Vaccines can help protect against viruses by triggering the production of?
antibodies
How does Producing antibodies protect you against diseases?
antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases
What is the condition in which antibodies protect a person from disease?
Antibodies protect people from disease because they are special defenders designed to fight a particular virus. Vaccines introduce small amounts of the virus into the body so it can build up antibodies against the disease.
Explain how an active vaccine works to protect the human body?
A vaccine works by producing antibodies to immunize the body against the virus that vaccine is intended to protect against.
What are these molecules called that protect potential host cells?
Antibodies protect potential host cells. They act against bacteria and viruses.
What is the function of antibodies?
Function of Antibodies is to fight against the antigens to protect the body
How does injecting someone with a killed bacteria vaccine protect someone from getting that disease?
There is nothing like killed disease. You have the killed microorganisms. These killed microorganisms are injected to the person. That gives rise to formation of the antibodies. These antibodies protect the person from the attack of the live microorganism.
How do antibodies protect your body against disease when exposed to a virus?
Each antibody is made to target certain antigens (disease or virus). They then would destroy them. The antibodies stay in the body so that if the antigen attacks again, the antibodies would already be there to destroy them.
How is the body's reaction to a vaccine similar to its reaction when it is attacked by a virus?
The body reacts to a vaccine by producing antibodies to protect against the disease.
Explain how the salk and sabin vaccines provide protection against polio?
Vaccines provide protection by reproducing antibodies which fights the poliovirus, or whatever the virus is the vaccine is intended to protect against. Some vaccines may also protect against certain bacterial infections, such as pneumonia.
What is it that your body produces in response to vaccines to protect you against viruses?
Antibodies.As antibodies are produced, the body keeps a "record" of them and you will have developed an immunity to that specific virus in people with an otherwise healthy immune system. See more information below on how the immune system works.
