Which type of vaccine is made from a living microbe with reduced virulence?

A live-attenuated vaccine is made from a living microbe that has been weakened or attenuated to reduce its virulence. This type of vaccine mimics a natural infection, stimulating a strong immune response without causing severe illness. Examples include the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and oral polio vaccines.


What is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either RNA or DNA surrounded by protein?

Viruses are pathogens made from RNA or DNA and are encapsulated in a protein shell.


Is producing antibodies a response by human white blood cells to pathogens?

Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.


Who made the first influenza vaccine?

The first vaccine is the virus cowpox (the latin word for cow is vacca, hence vaccine). It produces a very mild and harmless infection in people but protects them from smallpox, one of the most deadly diseases in history. Today, smallpox has been eradicated from the wild due to a worldwide effort to vaccinate enough people to wipe it out.


How does the skin keep pathogens out?

The skin acts as a physical barrier that prevents pathogens from entering the body. The outermost layer, known as the epidermis, is made up of tightly packed cells that provide protection. In addition, the skin produces antimicrobial substances and oils that can help eliminate or inhibit the growth of pathogens.
