To describe: What does the action of Jenner using cowpox virus to induce an immune response against smallpox tell regarding the antigenic properties of two different viruses.

Introduction: The smallpox disease, caused by the variola virus, was a fatal disease common in the earlier centuries. Edward Jenner proposed the thought that cowpox infection could provide immunity against smallpox. His procedure of infecting a known harmless substance to confer immunity to a rather lethal infection is referred to as vaccination.
