The principle of vaccination is based on which property of immune system?
- A Memory
- B Specificity
- C Diversity
- D Plasticity
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Memory
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) Memory,
During vaccination, inactivated/weakened pathogen (vaccine) is introduced into the body. The antibodies produced against the antigen (vaccine) would neutralise the pathogenic agents during actual infection. This is memory of immune system.
