What else can I help you with?
When a vaccine is given the immune system makes these in response?
Antibodies.
How do vaccine exposure evoke immune response?
The Vaccine exposes the immune system to small doses of a disease so the immune system can recognize it and fight it off when its exposed to the real disease
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.
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.
What is vaccine potency?
Vaccine potency refers to the strength or effectiveness of a vaccine in eliciting an immune response. It indicates how well the vaccine can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies or activate immune cells to protect against a specific pathogen. Potency is crucial for ensuring that vaccines provide adequate protection and is often assessed during development and quality control processes. Higher potency usually means a lower dose may be required to achieve the desired immune response.
A suspension of a killed or live-attenuated microorganisms is referred to as?
A suspension of killed or live-attenuated microorganisms is referred to as a vaccine. Vaccines are used to stimulate the immune system to provide protection against specific pathogens by inducing an immune response without causing the disease.
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.
What does the immune system produce to help fight future infections with same type of virus that is introduced in a vaccine?
The immune system produces antibodies in response to a vaccine, which help recognize and neutralize the specific virus it targets. Additionally, vaccines stimulate the formation of memory B cells and memory T cells. These memory cells remain in the body and enable a faster and more effective immune response if the same virus is encountered again in the future.
What is a dead form of a pathogen that causes the immune system to react?
A dead form of a pathogen that stimulates an immune response is known as an inactivated or killed vaccine. These vaccines contain pathogens that have been killed or inactivated so they cannot cause disease but are still able to elicit an immune response. This process helps the immune system recognize and remember the pathogen, providing protection against future infections. Examples include the polio vaccine and the hepatitis A vaccine.
What is the difference between antitserium and vaccine?
vaccine: a vaccine teaches your immune system how to fight an infectionantiserum :an antiserum either neutralise the infection or stimulate the immune system
What happens when a vaccine enters the booldstream?
When a vaccine enters the bloodstream, it introduces antigens (weakened or inactivated parts of a pathogen) that stimulate the immune system. This prompts the body to produce specific antibodies and activate immune cells to recognize and fight the pathogen if encountered in the future. The immune system essentially "learns" how to respond, creating a memory that helps provide protection against future infections. Over time, the immune response wanes, but memory cells remain, allowing for a quicker response during actual exposure to the pathogen.
What are the specific defenses in the immune system?
Specific defenses in the immune system include antibodies produced by B cells, which recognize and neutralize specific pathogens. T cells can also destroy infected cells and regulate the immune response. In addition, memory cells are formed after an infection, allowing for a quicker and stronger response upon reinfection.
