UPSC CAPF – 2016
– The presence of these antigens triggers an immune response, including the production of antibodies and the formation of memory cells.
– This prepares the body to mount a rapid and effective immune response if it encounters the actual, live pathogen later.
– Vaccination prevents disease, while antibiotics (Option D) treat bacterial infections once they occur. Monoclonal antibodies (Option C) are specific antibodies used for therapeutic purposes, different from the principle of vaccination. Option B is incorrect as vaccination stimulates the body *against* antigens, not to produce them.
