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

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.


How do antigens protect the body from diseases?

Antigens do not protect the body from disease. Antibodies protect the body from many diseases.


How active vaccination protect the body against disease?

Active vaccination produces antibodies against the particular organism. These antibodies kill the invading pathogen and protect the body against the disease.

antibodies


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.


How is the body's reaction to a vaccine similar to its reaction when it is attacked by a virus?

When vaccinated, the body produces an immune response similar to when it is attacked by a virus. This includes producing antibodies to fight the vaccine components. The immune system "learns" to recognize the virus in the future, allowing for a faster and more effective response if exposed to the real virus.


What are these molecules called that protect potential host cells?

Antibodies protect potential host cells. They act against bacteria and viruses.


How does producing antibodies protect us from disease?

Antibodies are specific. This means that they "match" the infesting disease (antigen). The antigen causes the immune system to make the antibodies which will attack the disease. Without the antibodeis, the body will not be able to fight off and destroy the disease.


Why doesnt the measles vaccine protect you from all of these disease?

AnswerBecause it does not help in production of the antibodies against other diseases inside the human body.ExplanationMeasles vaccine contain measles viruses (alive) called antigen. The measles virus inside it are alive but do not cause this disease because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but do not cause serious illness.When this vaccine is inserted inside human body, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of vaccine viruses (measles) and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against measles viruses.The measles viruses of vaccine are alive so they reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the measles viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against the measles viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual measles viruses.These antibodies can not prevent from other virus because every virus has different structure so different antibodies are needed to destroy it. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this pathogen.Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this pathogen.So the other diseases are prevented by other vaccine having the viruses of this disease which help the production of antibodies against this specific disease.The viruses of vaccines may be killed or alive.
