What will an injection containing weakened forms of a disease causing organism usually trigger?
some people say you can it it by sucking human
Is a vaccine an antibody?
No, antibodies are produced by your body as an immune response to an outside threat. A vaccine is--or used to be--just a weakened outside threat introduced internally so that your body may develop immunity to it. Pass on the mercury and aluminum, though, thanks.
How do vaccinations help prepare the body to fight invasions of a disease?
A vaccine is really that disease or virus itself. just a smaller amount of it. your blood cells fight that little vaccine to create antidotes. So if u get exposed to that germ your blood cells will use that antidote against it to prevent you from getting sick. Answered by: Emilio Aranda_EL Paso, Tx (Emilioa)
Why can't a vaccine help people already infected with a virus?
Because a vaccine is a little bit of a weakened or dead virus to trick your immune system into thinking that you have the disease so that it creates the antibodies to fight the disease. This prevents you from getting the disease. If you already have the disease, then it won't do much.A vaccination is a dead or weakened virus. It is sort of like a training dummy for your white blood cells. The viruses go in and train the white blood cells to attack it, to make it familiar with the virus for when the real thing comes up. Pretty much, if your body is already infected, then it doesn't help if more viruses go into your body.
How are immunity and vaccination related?
Vaccination is designed to give you immunity to a particular disease. A dead or weakened culture of a disease is introduced into the body, not enough to harm but enough for the body to prepare its defence and create an immunity. Should the body then be exposed to the disease later it will have its defence ready.
How vaccines prevent infection?
Vaccines do not prevent infection. Vaccines prepare the immune system to fight infection by allowing the immune system to produce antibodies to a specific invading organism, kill it, and remember it in the future. In vaccines, this organism is often weakened or dead. If the invading organism is found by the immune system in the future following immunization, the immune system remembers it and produces the specific antibodies needed to kill it quickly.
Does the flu vaccine include antibodies?
No, a flu vaccine triggers our bodies to make our own antibodies. The vaccine includes dead or weakened viruses that can't make us sick, but they will cause the immune response that creates the correct antibodies.
An infection is caused by a pathogen that normally does not cause disease unless the host is weakened by another condition?
Opportunistic Infection
Does toxemia lead to infection?
People who have toxemia are often susceptible to infection because their immune systems are weakened
What infection is a pathogen that normally does not cause disease unless the host is weakened by another condition?
Opportunistic infection
A preparation of killed or weakened pathogens injected or taken orally to stimulate the body to produce antibodies is called a?
vaccine
What is injection of weakened viruses is called?
A vaccination using a vaccine made from attenuated live viruses.
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.
How does a vaccination prevent infection?
The vaccine is made of weakened virus particles. This causes your body to produce interferon to fight an infection. :-)
What is the process of giving by mouth or injection a weakened virus that allows one to develop immunity against a disease?
Vaccination
Infection that attacks an individual already weakened by disease?
Opportunistic Infection. Pg. 90 in Memmler's The Human Body in Health and Disease 12th Edition.
Why are people with weakened immune systems vulnerable to toxoplasmosis?
Because they are more vulnerable to any infection.
