It's not having antibodies, that doesn't give you immunity to getting it else where. Herpes is a very localized infection, it also doesn't live out side of the body for more then a few seconds so you're unlikely to pass it to other locations by your self. Also herpes doesn't often live on dry parts of the body, it likes to live in mucous membranes. For example if you have it on the mouth then you would have to touch a break out then with in seconds touch some where like your eyes or genitals.
Active vaccination produces antibodies against the particular organism. These antibodies kill the invading pathogen and protect the body against the disease.
antibodies
antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases
Antibodies protect people from disease because they are special defenders designed to fight a particular virus. Vaccines introduce small amounts of the virus into the body so it can build up antibodies against the disease.
A vaccine works by producing antibodies to immunize the body against the virus that vaccine is intended to protect against.
Antibodies protect potential host cells. They act against bacteria and viruses.
Positive antibodies indicate that the immune system has produced antibodies in response to a specific infection or vaccination. These antibodies help protect the body against future encounters with the same pathogen by recognizing and neutralizing it.
Function of Antibodies is to fight against the antigens to protect the body
There is nothing like killed disease. You have the killed microorganisms. These killed microorganisms are injected to the person. That gives rise to formation of the antibodies. These antibodies protect the person from the attack of the live microorganism.
Each antibody is made to target certain antigens (disease or virus). They then would destroy them. The antibodies stay in the body so that if the antigen attacks again, the antibodies would already be there to destroy them.
Vaccines provide protection by reproducing antibodies which fights the poliovirus, or whatever the virus is the vaccine is intended to protect against. Some vaccines may also protect against certain bacterial infections, such as pneumonia.
Antibodies are specific. This means that they "match" the infesting disease (antigen). The antigen causes the immune system to make the antibodies which will attack the disease. Without the antibodeis, the body will not be able to fight off and destroy the disease.
