Best Answer

Pieces (or synthetic pieces) of the disease causing organism called antigens that can be recognized by the immune system as something that does not belong in the body. This prompts the immune system to produce antibodies that recognize those antigens and attack them the next time they appear, typically when challenged by the real disease causing organism.
