Detailed explanation-1: -When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds to the vaccine the same way it would to the real germ. It: Recognizes the germ in the vaccine as being foreign. Responds by making antibodies to the germ in the vaccine, just as it would for the real germ.
Detailed explanation-2: -Active Immunity Vaccine-induced immunity is acquired through the introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is called an antigen. When a person gets a vaccine, their immune system recognises the antigen as foreign. This activates the immune cells so that they kill the disease-causing virus or bacterium and make antibodies against it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Adaptive immune responses are the basis for effective immunization against infectious diseases. The cells of the adaptive immune system include: antigen-specific T cells, which are activated to proliferate through the action of APCs, and B cells which differentiate into plasma cells to produce antibodies.
