What makes up a vaccine?
A vaccine typically contains an antigen, which is a weakened or inactivated form of a pathogen (virus or bacterium) or a piece of its genetic material, to stimulate an immune response. It may also include adjuvants, which enhance the immune response, and stabilizers or preservatives to maintain the vaccine's efficacy and shelf life. Additionally, some vaccines may contain trace amounts of other substances used during manufacturing. Together, these components work to prepare the immune system to recognize and combat the actual pathogen if encountered in the future.
How is the heat in metabolism useful to a cell?
It can help speed up reactions, such as when your body heats up when you are sick in order to speed up its immune response. It can also help regulate temperature if the cell is in a colder environment.
Can you still get Swine Flu after the vaccine?
Absolutely, the vaccine simply builds up your immune system - one can still become infected.

What does a vaccine contain that allows the body to do this?
The theory behind the vaccine is that it is made up of weakened viruses but that form antibodies, which in turn build up the immune system that will fight the introduction of any pathogen the vaccine is intended to prevent.
Do you need swine flu vaccine more than once?
It won't usually hurt to receive it more than once, but it won't be necessary to repeat it unless you are 6 months old up to 9 years old, and then you will need an initial vaccination followed by a booster (about a month later) since your immune system is not fully mature to give a good immune response from a single exposure to the vaccine at those younger ages.
Can vaccines make white cells go up?
Yes, vaccines can lead to an increase in white blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, as part of the body's immune response to the vaccine. When a vaccine is administered, it stimulates the immune system to recognize and respond to the pathogen it targets, resulting in the production of more white blood cells to help fight infections. This response is typically temporary and reflects the body's efforts to build immunity. However, significant or prolonged increases in white blood cells should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
What 4 body functions speed up and slow down during the alarm Stage?
During the alarm stage of the stress response, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline production speed up. Meanwhile, digestion, immune response, and reproductive functions may slow down as the body prepares for fight or flight.
How does a vaccine produce its effects?
Dead virus cells are injected causing the animal's body's immune system to build up immunity to that particular virus. When the animal comes across that same virus it already has immunity built up so the chance of 'getting' that same germ is greatly reduced. This is an over-simplified explanation but it will give you an idea of how it works.
What is made up of dead or weakened virus or virus particles?
a virus is a nonliving particle that invades a cell and reporduses of the cell. then a few days later the cell explodes and viruses spred everywere.
What are examples of specific immunity?

How would set up an experiment testing the effectiveness of a vaccine on 100 rats?
To test the effectiveness of a vaccine on 100 rats, I would randomly divide the rats into two groups: 50 vaccinated and 50 control (unvaccinated). The vaccinated group would receive the vaccine, while the control group would receive a placebo. After a defined period, both groups would be exposed to the virus or pathogen the vaccine targets, and I would monitor and compare the health outcomes, immune response, and disease incidence in both groups to assess the vaccine's effectiveness. Ethical considerations, including humane treatment and minimizing suffering, would be prioritized throughout the experiment.
