days of disease 1m
c O, P 1m
d Both the number of pathogens and days of disease will be reduced because 1m
there will be a secondary immune response to fight against the second invasion of the pathogens. 1m
2 a The rhesus antibodies bind to the rhesus antigens, 1m
causing the red blood cells to stick together. 1m
b The rhesus antigens in the rhesus positive blood attach to the antigen receptors of B cells 1m
and the B cells are activated. 1m
The activated B cells multiply and differentiate into plasma cells which produce the rhesus antibodies. 1 m
3 a 5 weeks 1m
b The injection contains live and weakened pathogens / killed pathogens / parts of pathogens. 1m
c If a person does not receive the 2nd injection, he/she cannot develop immunity to the disease. 1m
Once infected, he/she will suffer from the disease. 1m
d After one year, the level of antibodies will drop below the immune level 1m
and the body will no longer be immune to the disease. 1m
The person should receive a third injection to boost up the level of antibodies above the immune level to
maintain the immunity. 1m
e Compared to a single large injection, the second injection, even small, will initiate a secondary response
1m
and result in a much higher level of antibodies and more killer T cells. 1m
This gives greater and longer protection against the disease. 1m
