Examples include the viral diseases yellow fever, measles, rubella, and mumps, and the bacterial disease typhoid.

  4. These cells recognize an antigen introduced into the body during a prior infection or vaccination. Memory lymphocytes mount a rapid and strong immune response when exposed to an antigen for a second time.

  1. A type of vaccine made from inactivated toxic compounds that cause illness rather than the micro-organism. Examples of toxoid-based vaccines include tetanus and diphtheria.

The DNA polymerase of herpes virus has much higher affinity for the activated drug than cellular DNA polymerase. Another example of a similar antiviral is famiciclovir.
