The markers on a pathogen are called antigens. Antigens are molecules or molecular structures, often proteins or carbohydrates, that can trigger an immune response in the host organism. They are recognized by the immune system, particularly by antibodies, which help to identify and neutralize the pathogen.

How does being injected with a inactive form of pathogen make you immune to the disease?

The inactive form of the pathogen still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on their surface. Antibodies locate the pathogen and create the correct form of antibody to combat it. 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.
