Q

Variolation came from Infected person meaning, it contains virulent virus

A
17
Q

Considered the father of immunology

Who discovered the smallpox vaccine

A

Edward Jenner 1798

18
Q

NOTE: Edward Jenner He noticed that milkmaids who contracted cowpox were spared from smallpox epidemics

This then inoculated to a boy to inject cowpox blisters which provides immunity to smallpox

A
19
Q

Vaccination came from the word Vacca meaning?

A

Cow

20
Q

Immunity developed from one disease will also be effective to another

Ex. Cowpox and smallpox

A

Cross immunity

21
Q

Father of modern microbiology

Discovered attenuated (Weakened or killed) vaccines

Discovered vaccines against rabies, Anthrax, and chicken cholera

(Can be considered as the father of immunology)

A

Louis Pasteur

22
Q

Causative agent of chicken pox?

A

Varicella zoster virus

23
Q

The ability to triggered immune responce

A

Immunogenicity

24
Q

Cellular theory f immunity through phagocytsis

Experimented on starfish larvae

A

Elie Metchnikoff (1880-1900)

25
Q

Factors that are dissolved in the blood (Soluble factors)

A

Humoral factors

26
Q

NOTE: The theory of phagocytosis is not well accepted because of humoral factors not until Opsonins was discovered

A
27
Q

Antigen-antibody binding is also known as?

A

Lattice hypothesis

28
Q

glycoproteins produced by the immune system in response to exposure from an immunogenic material

Hallmark of immunogenic material

A

Antibody

29
Q

Antibody is also known as?

A

Immunoglobulin or gamma globulin

30
Q

Any material that is capable of binding to the product of an immuno response

A

Antigen

31
Q

Any material that is capable of eliciting an immune response in an immunocompetent host

A

Immunogen

32
Q

NOTE: ALL immunogens are Antigens

A
33
Q

NOTE: Not ALL antigens are immunogens

A
34
Q

The reaction of the immune system to immunogenic stimulation

A

Immune response

35
Q

A form of immune defense represented by antiodies and other soluble factors in the blood and body fluids

A

Humoral immunity

36
Q

A form of immune defense represented by immune cells such as lymphocytes, phagocytic cells, antigen-presenting cells and inflammatory cells.

A

Cell mediated immunity

37
Q

Basis for the vaccination wherein the pathogens became less virulent, can be weaken or be killed

A

Attenuation

38
Q

Where did Eli Metchnikoff observe phagocytosis?

A

Starfish Larvae
