Don't they make most of the medicines they use to combat diseases from antibodies?
I agree with what Kaneda said except that i believe it's the dead version of the virus. but close enough. now I don't know too much about antibodies, but i'm tending to think that the are unique, but a match to the protein markers on the virus of that particular strain. keep in mind that the virus mutates very frequently(depending on the particular virus)
