Why doesn't the influenza vaccine offer more than a few months of protection?

Describe three examples of how antibodies are used as reagents in cell biology and molecular biology.

Herd immunity means that the entire population (not just those who are vaccinated) are protected from a disease.  What is one way that herd immunity protects an unvaccinated person (such as an infant who is too young to be vaccinated or a person who is immunocompromised)?

How do vaccines work?Why do we effective at preventing disease?

This term describes an antigen that is too small to be immunogenic, however it binds to proteins in the body to increase its size, allowing it to then be able to trigger an immune reaction: O 1) hapten O 2) alloantigen 3) superantigen O 4) epitope

CRISPR/Cas9 is the 1)____________ immune system of  2)_____________ . CRISPR/Cas9 remembers 3)___________________ pathogens by capturing part of their 4)____________________ in the CRISPR locus. Drs. Charpentier and Doudna used this system to create a powerful tool to 5)_____________ genomes.  Here are the choices of the questions: 1) adaptative/innate 2) plants/fungi/viruses/animals/bacteria 3) fungal/phage/bacterial/animal 4) proteins/genome 5) synthesize/edit

Tuberculosis and the effect tuberculosis vaccination hesitancy has had on vaccine-preventable diseases in the US?

Why do vaccines make your immune system able to stop pathogens from causing disease?

Describe IN DETAIL how vaccines work. Include a clear description of how the immune system works and how vaccines work WITH our natural immune function. How do they help protect us from dying from diseases? Use examples from the past (e.g. polio, smallpox, measles, rubella, etc.) to illustrate the effectiveness of vaccines.
