4 Varicella, live attenuated
UNII GPV39ZGD8C - VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS STRAIN OKA/MERCK LIVE ANTIGEN

Natural infection induces a cellular and humoral immune response to the varicella-zoster virus, which can be rapidly detected following infection. IgG, IgM and IgA directed against viral proteins usually appear at the same time that a cellular immune response can be demonstrated, making the relative contribution of humoral and cellular immunity to disease progression difficult to ascertain. Vaccination has been shown to induce both humoral and cell-mediated types of immunity.
