What is Harmless variant of a pathogen that stimulates a hosts immume system to mount a defense against the pathogen?
A harmless variant of a pathogen that stimulates a host's immune system is known as a vaccine. Vaccines contain weakened or inactivated parts of the pathogen, such as proteins or sugars, which provoke an immune response without causing disease. This prepares the immune system to recognize and fight the actual pathogen if the host is exposed in the future. By training the immune system in this way, vaccines help prevent infections and contribute to herd immunity.
