A vaccine normally exposes the body's immune system to dead portions of the virus it is trying to protect against. The immune system will still react to the dead virus and develop anti-bodies to protect against the virus. This will either prevent the person from becoming infected or reduce the length and the severity of the symptoms if they do become infected.

What does adjuvent mean?
An adjuvant is a substance that is added to a vaccine to enhance the body's immune response to the vaccine. Adjuvants help to stimulate the immune system and improve the effectiveness of the vaccine.
How do you use immunologist in a sentence?
The immunologist studied how the body's immune system responds to a new vaccine.
How does a vaccine prevent a viral disease when injected into the body?
the vaccine has a little bit of the disease in it so your body gets an atibody for the disease so when the disease trys to attack you body you have an immune system to it
What is a preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen called?
It is called a vaccine. Vaccines trigger an immune response in the body without causing the disease, preparing the immune system to recognize and fight off the pathogen if exposed in the future.
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 vaccins work?
Vaccines help a body's immune system prepare in advance to fight infectious illnesses and potentially deadly diseases caused by infectious agents or their by-products. Essentially, vaccines give the body a preview of a bacterium, virus, or toxin allowing it to learn in advance how to defend itself against that potential invader. If the body is ever infected by that particular pathogen after the vaccine has done its work, the body's immune system is ready to protect us because it has created "memory cells" when exposed to the vaccine. These cells can tell your immune system exactly what antibodies it needs to make for that particular pathogen and can get to work before the infection gets out of control.
Why is it good to use a vaccine to stimulate the immune system for homeostatis?
A vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies against a specific disease causing pathogen. This makes the body able to fight off that disease.
Why is the response of the immune system to a vaccine specific?
Because the immune system attack the dead virus so the next time the virus come into the body thebimmune systek reconize it and attack the virus
To inject a vaccine is to?
To inject a vaccine is to introduce a small amount of the vaccine, usually through a needle, into the body. This helps stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and create a defense against the specific disease targeted by the vaccine.
How vaccine is different from medicine?
Vaccine is a minidisease of which you want your body to be immune against. When you take the vaccine, your body destroys the virus and "remembers" it. You will then be able to get rid of the disease instantly.
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.
How does a DNA vaccine prevent future disease?
A DNA vaccine contains DNA from a pathogen but cannot cause disease. When the vaccine is injected into a patient, the DNA directs the synthesis of a protein. Antibodies are produced by the body against the protein. If the patient contracts the disease in the future, the antibodies in his or her body will be able to provide protection.
