Evaluate the immune response produced by rabbits using two different bacterial species, at different time intervals. To quantitatively determine an immune response, serum will be collected and measured at days 6 and 42…

Studies have consistently supported the fact that environmental factor as well as the way it is perceived by an individual (psychology) exerts spontaneous effect on the neurons of the brain which in turn stimulates hyperactivity of all physiological systems, interrupting the normal state of wellness (Clark, & Fessler, 2014; Dunn, 2014; Lai,Liao, Huang, Chen, & Peng, 2013; Ruyak, & Corwin, 2013).

Because vaccines contain strains of a disease, some people…

The humoral immune system is responsible for making response to the pathogens which invade our body.

Vaccines can prevent or ameliorate morbidity from infection. When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, this results in herd immunity. The effectiveness of vaccination has been widely studied and verified; for example, the influenza vaccine, the HPV vaccine, and the chicken pox vaccine. Vaccination is the most effective…
