Question

Antivenom injection contains preformed antibodies while polio drops that are administered into the body contain

• A. Attenuated pathogens
• B. Activated pathogens
• C. Harvested antibodies
• D. Gamma globulin

Answer 1

The correct option is A Attenuated pathogens

• Antivenom injection is an antiserum (preformed antibodies) which is obtained from the snake poison and it is transferred to the person with a snake bite. It is used to provide immediate immunity in case of emergency.
• Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). Two types are used - an inactivated poliovirus (antigen) given by injection and an attenuated poliovirus (antigen) given by mouth. The inactivated polio vaccines are very safe. Mild redness or pain may occur at the site of injection. Oral polio vaccines cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Attenuated pathogens'.
