Jenner successfully used cowpox virus as a vaccine against the virus that causes smallpox. Why was he successful even though he used viruses of different kinds?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. The immune system responds nonspecifically to antigens.

  2. The cowpox virus made antibodies in response to the presence of smallpox.

  3. Cowpox and smallpox are antibodies with similar immunizing properties.

  4. There are some antigenic determinants common to both pox viruses.

The titration curve of alanine shows the ionization of two functional groups with pKa values of 2.34 and 9.69, corresponding to the ionization of the carboxyl and the protonated amino groups, respectively. The titration of di-, tri-, and larger oligopeptides of alanine also shows the ionization of only two functional groups, although the experimental pKa values are different. The trend in pKa values is summarized in the table. Which of the following is a reason for this shift in pK values
