- Pathogens are microbes that cause diseases. Vaccinesallow a dead or altered form of the disease causing pathogen to be introduced into the body, which contain a specific antigen. This causes the immune system, specifically the white blood cells, to produce complementary antibodies, which target and attach to the antigen. When a white blood cell engulfs and digests a pathogen it is called phagocytosis.
