A harmless pathogen can be injected into your body so that the bodies defence system will learn to recognise the antigens (harmful protein located on surface of pathogen) and to fight it easily the next time having remembered the antibodies it had to produce. and sorry if this is a little confusing.

How are pathogens made harmless in order to make a vaccine?

Pathogens are made harmless for vaccines through processes such as inactivation (using chemicals or heat to kill the pathogen), attenuation (weakening the pathogen's ability to cause disease), or using only specific parts of the pathogen (such as proteins) that stimulate an immune response without causing illness. This allows the immune system to recognize and remember the pathogen, providing protection if exposed to the real pathogen in the future.


Vaccinations help prepare the body to fight invasions of a specific pathogen by?

introducing a harmless version of the pathogen to the immune system. This allows the immune system to recognize and remember the pathogen, so it can respond quickly if the real pathogen is encountered in the future. Ultimately, vaccinations help prevent illness and the spread of infectious diseases.


What is the name of the process when a person is immunised against a disease by injecting them with an inactive form of a pathogen?

The process is called vaccination. It involves injecting a person with a harmless form of a pathogen, such as a dead or weakened virus or bacteria, to stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response without causing the disease.


What is an avirulent pathogen?

An avirulent pathogen is a pathogen that is unable to cause disease in its host. This may be due to mutations that have reduced its ability to infect or harm the host, making it less pathogenic compared to a virulent pathogen.


What does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen?

There are infinitely many things that do not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen. Elvis does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen.

Vaccines can now be genetically engineered by inserting the genes that encode the pathogen's surface proteins into the?

DNA of harmless bacteria or viruses.


What is a substance that contains the antigen of a pathogen?

A substance that contains the antigen of a pathogen is known as a vaccine. Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system by introducing a harmless form or component of the pathogen, such as proteins or inactivated viruses. This exposure helps the body recognize and mount an immune response against the pathogen if encountered in the future, providing immunity.
