Conjugate - certain bacteria have polysaccharide outer coats that are poorly immunogenic. By linking these outer coats to proteins (e.g. toxins), the immune system can be led to recognize the polysaccharide as if it were a protein antigen. This approach is used in the Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine. [Wikipedia]

What is the difference between conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin?

The conjugated vaccine has a protein that is bound to the polyscharride to enhance its immunogencity. The unconjugated is the polysacharride only which is less imuunogenic.


What is the difference between vaccines and medications?

Vaccines prevent diseases, medications treat them.


What is the difference between conducting polymer and conjugated polymers?

All the polymer can not be made electrically conductive unless there are sufficient charge carriers available within the polymer itself. These charge carriers are responsible for conduction of electrical current. There is hardly a difference between a conducting polymer and conjugated polymer. The conjugated polymers have alternate single and double bond. Moreover, all conjugated polymers are conducting polymers. Their conductivity is increased on adding a suitable impurity in order to make free charge carriers.


What is the difference between vaccine and antibodies?

Salman Khaliq Bajwa from PAF-KIET damigo88@live.com The difference between antibodies and vaccines are; 1. Antibodies are micro organisms in our body for our defense. Vaccines are diluted living or dead antigens. 2. Antibodies are natural. Vaccines are artificial, 3. Antibodies kill the bacteria, viruses and toxic substances in our body. Vaccines does not kill but it actually activates the antibodies in our body.


What is the difference between vaccines and anitisera?

A vaccine protects against a future illness. An antiserum treats a current illness.


what is the difference between pro biotic and vaccines?

A pro biotic is designed to aid digestion. A vaccine is (usually) an injection to protect you against disease.


What is the difference between vaccine conjugate and Polysaccharide vaccine?

Vaccines use different types of vaccination technology - Polysaccharide and Conjugate are different types of technologies. It is generally considered that Conjugate vaccines provide superior long-term protection versus Polysaccharide vaccines because of the mechanism by which they create an antibody response. While polysaccharide vaccines may offer individual protection, they do not provide the same level of "herd immunity" (i.e. non-immunized individuals provided protection due to number of immunized individulas in community) provided by Conjugate vaccines.


What is the main difference between antibiotics and vaccines?

A drug, by definition, is any substance altering the physical or mental state of your body. That being said, an antibiotic is a drug, but in most cases, isn't harmful to the body as it is prescribed by a professional in the field.


Is English a conjugated language?

English is not considered a conjugated language like Spanish or French, where verbs change depending on the subject. While English verbs do have some conjugation for tense, aspect, and number, the changes are less pronounced compared to conjugated languages.


What is the difference between the verbs 'ser' and 'ir' in Spanish?

ser means to be, while ir means to go. However, in the preterite tense of the indicative and subjunctive they are both conjugated the same (fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos, fueron OR fuera, fueras, fuera, fue'ramos, fueran)


What is the difference between nasal H1N1 vaccines and the injected H1N1 vaccines?

The only real difference is the medium that holds the virus in the vaccine, one is made for injection into muscles and the other is for using as a nasal mist. The current vaccination for H1N1/09 is available in both types of vaccines. The virus used in both vaccines is the same, except the nasal mist uses "live attenuated" viruses (they are still active whole viruses but have been treated to weaken them so they can not make an otherwise healthy person sick). The viruses in the vaccine for giving in a shot are totally inactive ("dead") or are just pieces of the virus particles instead of the whole viral organism, which also can not make you sick. See the related question below about which is better to use for your circumstances.


What are the differences between simple protein and conjugated protein?

Simple proteins hydrolyse to yield only amino acids eg: the albumens , globulins. Conjugated proteins will yield phosphate groups or other residues such as nucleic acids in addiction to amino acids eg: glycoproteins, lipoproteins.
