Paragraphs that demonstrate complete and thorough reasoning will receive full points. After receiving a vaccine containing a particles from a dead virus (not able to infect cells) and an adjuvant, one would expect a person to have increased inflammation, NK cell activity and interferon secretion at the injection site.Explanation / Answer
After receiving a vaccine containing particles from a dead virus and an adjuvant, one would expect a person to have increased inflammation, NK cell activity and interferon secretion at the injection site. ------------> TRUE.
Vaccination is an immunization procedure in which a person develops immunity particularly against a specific pathogen. Vaccines contain live attenuated or killed organisms that are injected to the person in a series. So, our body develops antibodies to those antigens and if that organism enters into our body, they readily attach the pathogen. During this process, initially our body generates inflammatory mediators and immune cells that also include NK cells and interferons. Vaccination is a type of acquired immunity.
Generally, vaccination is done on series, this is because to make the body completely resistant against a particular pathogen. After the first dose administration of the antigen, primary response of the body generates antibodies, this takes more time and the amount of antibodies generated decreases with time if the person no longer exposed to the second dose.
Second dose administration triggers a secondary response, which include a rapid and intense generation of anti-bodies. This is due to the number of increase in sensitised memory B cells.
