How does the immune system respond to develop immunity after being given the vaccine?
99678
The body produces two types of antibodies. The first is designed to attack an antigen that has entered the body, to keep it from multiplying. This first type is stored in the lymph system throughout the body, and is assigned to attack antigens as they appear.\n\n The second type of antibody, the one you are concerned with, is formed to attack a specific microorganism. When a vaccine is administered into the body, it is a weakened or dead form of microorganism, which the body produces antibodies against. These antibodies remain in the body in great enough numbers to ward  off infection from that microorganism, in many cases, for the remainder of your life. The second type of antibody would only serve to protect the body from that microorganism for which it was originally formed ( the vaccination). Hope this helps some.

First: Vaccine is given by shot or as a liquid by mouth--vaccines contain a weak or dead disease germ. \n\nNext: The body makes antibodies to fight the weak or dead germs in the vaccine. \n\nThen: These antibodies practice on the weak germs so when the real, strong disease germs--which can be lurking all around--invade the child's body, the antibodies will know how to destroy them and the child will not become ill. \n\nFinally: Protective antibodies stay on guard in the child's body to safeguard it from the real disease germs. \n\nAntibodies fight infectious diseases and usually stay in your system--even after the disease is gone--to protect you from getting sick again. This is called immunity.\n\nNewborn babies are immune to many diseases because they have antibodies they got from their mothers. But this immunity does not last. It wears off in the first year of life. Fortunately, we can keep children immune to many diseases, even after they lose their mothers' antibodies. We do this by vaccinating them against those diseases.\n\nVaccines give your baby's immune system the chance to practice and make protective antibodies before real germs invade. If left totally to chance, your baby's first exposure to a disease may be from a germ too strong for your baby to fight. That's why before parents had vaccines for their children, many children died from whooping cough, measles, diphtheria and other diseases. Those same germs exist today, but today's babies are protected by vaccines.

Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade our systems and cause disease. The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body.\n\nThe cells that are part of this defense system are white blood cells, or leukocytes (pronounced: loo-kuh-sytes). They come in two basic types (more on these below), which combine to seek out and destroy the organisms or substances that cause disease. \nThe leukocytes circulate through the body between the organs and nodes by means of the lymphatic (pronounced: lim-fah-tik) vessels. (You can think of the lymphatic vessels as a type of highway between the rest stops that are the lymphoid organs and lymph nodes). Leukocytes can also circulate through the blood vessels. In this way, the immune system works in a coordinated manner to monitor the body for substances that might cause problems.A foreign substance that invades the body is called an antigen (pronounced: an-tih-jun). When an antigen is detected, several types of cells work together to recognize and respond to it. These cells trigger the B lymphocytes to produce antibodies. Antibodies are specialized proteins that lock onto specific antigens. Antibodies and antigens fit together like a key and a lock.Once the B lymphocytes have produced antibodies, these antibodies continue to exist in a person's body. That means if the same antigen is presented to the immune system again, the antibodies are already there to do their job.Although antibodies can recognize an antigen and lock onto it, they are not capable of destroying it without help. That is the job of the T cells. The T cells are part of the system that destroys antigens that have been tagged by antibodies or cells that have been infected or somehow changed. (There are actually T cells that are called "killer cells"). T cells are also involved in helping signal other cells (like phagocytes) to do their jobs.\n\nAntibodies can also neutralize toxins (poisonous or damaging substances) produced by different organisms. Lastly, antibodies can activate a group of proteins called complement that are also part of the immune system. Complement assists in killing bacteria, viruses, or infected cells.\n\nAll of these specialized cells and parts of the immune system offer the body protection against disease. This protection is called immunity. Humans have three types of immunity - innate, adaptive, and passive.

Normally, the body learns to defend itself through experience - by encountering, battling and remembering one enemy after another. For decades, medical science has taken advantage of this ability by using vaccination to create immunity - the immunologic "memory" of a disease. Allergic reactions occur after the immune system mistakenly learns to recognize innocent foreign substances (allergens) as potentially harmful.\n\nThe following story illustrates how an allergy can develop:\n\nOver a field of ragweed plants floats an invisible cloud of pollen grains, soon carried by the wind into a nearby town. The pollen is inhaled by a child whose body has never been exposed to this substance before.\n\nBecause of some genetic predisposing factor, this child's immune system overreacts and produces large numbers of IgE antibodies, all specially designed to respond to ragweed pollen. Several of the antibodies attach themselves to cells in the child's nasal passages and upper respiratory tract.\n\nThese cells (known as mast cells) contain strong chemicals called mediators, the best-known of which is histamine.\n\nLater, when the child inhales the same kind of pollen again, proteins from the pollen bind in a lock-and-key fashion to the specially designed antibodies on the surface of the mast cells. This sets off an explosion of sorts, as the mediators burst from inside the mast cells, destroying the pollen and also damaging surrounding tissues. The results are sneezing, a stuffy head, sniffling, stuffed-up head and red, watery eyes - well-known hallmarks of allergies.

B cells and T cells ...  well...\nAcquired immunity involves diverse but specific responses to invaders involving lymphocytes.  The cells involved in acquired immunity are specialized and possess memory (once they encounter and destroy the invader, they remember it and can destroy it quicker in the future).  The two types of acquired immunity based on the type of lymphocyte involved are humoral immunity and cellular immunity.  Humoral immunity involves B Cells and cellular immunity involves T Cells.\nBone Marrow derived B Cells secrete antibodies that destroy antigens.  Antigens are pathogens that elicit B cell activation.  They are slower to respond than T cells and are involved in immunization.  Memory B cells stay after an infection is contained to recognize the pathogen if it invades again.\nThymus derived T Cells respond quickly to pathogens by attacking them directly.  These cells puncture a hole in the pathogens cell membrane, so it can fill with tissue fluid, bursting in the process.  Helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and memory T cells are types of T cells.  Helper T cells assit both T cells and B cells fight an infection by secreting hormones to stimulate them.  Cytotoxic T cells kill body cell infected by pathogens.  Memory T cells, like memory B cells, stay after the infection is contained to recognize the pathogen if it invades again.

It doesn't look like there are concrete answers yet, although several sources cover the introduction of the HIV vaccine. \n\nThere is no vaccine for AIDS as such, as AIDS is simply the term for whatever illness finishes you off after your immune responses have been lowered over time by the HIV virus.

Hopefully nowhere.\n\nDo NOT get vaccinated.\n\nA vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than  a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.\nThere are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.\nJust sit back and think for a while.\nIs there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.\nWe have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.\n\nThe Vaccination Hoax\nhttp://www.whale.to/b/hoax1.html\n\n\nIf you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at\nhttp://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm\nYou will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.\n\nIf you want to study the history of vaccination, see\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/vaccination.html

it doesnt....it just doesnt reproduce. Now, the body can get rid of certain infections on its own which is where the virus load actually decreases.Hope that was helpful. I'm sure you were expecting some big long drawn out answer which I could give you about how antibodies in the body work....but thats not what you asked.

Ask the doctor to do a blood test to determine your immunity. It may not be possible to check your immunity to all the diseases which now require immunizations, but it IS possible for some to be determined by a blood test. For any immunizations you have to get, be sure you see the vial from which the dosage is taken, and make sure the nurse (or whoever administers the injection) shakes the vial so that the perservatives, one of which is thimerisol (mercury), are distributed throughout. This is especially important for the last few dosages in the vial, since mercury is a heavy metal and settles in liquid. If the nurse refuses your request, go elsewhere. Above all, do not get too many injections at once, even if they tell you it is safe.

It's not 100%, but close to it.  Mumps, like many other viral illnesses, can produce lifelong immunity if you have had it.  However, it's not 100%.\n\nIt is, however, better immunity than the mumps vaccine - which confers about 80% immunity after one dose and a little over 90% after two.\n\nMost everyone should have had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine.  Especially if you live in areas where there are currently outbreaks!

Yes, its not immunity though, its tolerance.  Generally, after a few weeks, the tolerance disappears.

Not usually.\nOnce we have recovered from a bacterial or viral infection our body's defense system can very quickly protect us against a second attack - this is 'natural immunity'.\nWe make use of this mechanism in immunisation by injecting (usually) weakened or inactive microbes (or part of a microbe) which creates an immune response - production of antibodies. We are immune to future attacks.\n\nA second dose of a disease is unlikely but possible - I have had measles twice!\nScarlet fever is easily treated with antibiotics, though I've had this too. It is not pleasant.\n\nHave a look here:

Despite what people say, the vaccine does not make anyone sick.  It is more likely, due to timing of flu shots that they already had a little cold coming on, or that their body had an immune system response that left them a little tired and run down, but not really sick.\n\nOr they are allergic to eggs.  They could also have an allergic reaction to the flu shot as it is grown in eggs, but that allergy is often a very serious allergy and can be life threatening.

Both.\n\nA preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection.

Everything you do, touch, breath, eat and drink affects your immunity. How to build strong immunity in your body is greatly affected by how you live your life. Sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress reduction, and health conditions are the main providers of foundation of having strong immune response.\n\nThings to do:\n>>Live a healthy life in general.\n>>Adequate rest and sleep - during deep sleep, our bodies release potent immune-enhancing substances that strengthen immune function.\n>>Regular exercise -  The body has a remarkable ability to increase its metabolic capacity through consistent regular physical conditioning.\n>>Good nutrition -  A healthy balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, whole and fortified grains, and dairy products, with small amounts of fish and meat if you wish. is absolutely essential to maintain good immunity. A healthy immune system depends on adequate amounts of protein, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and other important metabolic nutrients. \n>>Detoxification - effects of  toxins and pollution are harmful to the immune system. Avoiding source of toxins and pollution is the best way to help.\n>>Avoid geting stress - stress has been found to stimulate immune-suppressing chemicals such as adrenaline. Stress reducers such as meditation, relaxation, guided imagery, and hypnosis can effectively enhance immunity.\n>>Avoid smoking or getting exposed to smoke - smoking suppresses immune cells.\n>>Immunization against some diseases is a good help.☺

Well, Iam no Doctor but still I will try to explain what I can recollect from my School biology classes. Vaccine is basically dead or weak micro organisms injected into our body so that our antibodies (proteins for immunity) get trained to fight them. Once they are trained (pardon my layman's language) they are ready to fight strong micro organisms of the same type. But in the case of HIV - these viruses have a special ability they can simply change their form ie even if we train our antibodies - by the time our antibodies get trained the virus changes its form. So that the virus looks like an entirely new variety. Further thier is a wide variety of HIV strains. This is only one of the reasons.

You will get a rabbit that is temporarily immune to the bacterial antigen that was injected into the first rabbit. This would be like giving a type O mother Rhogam.
