13 vaccines Flashcards
benifits of live attenuated vaccines
no adjuvants
effective and long lasting resonse- steralizing for some
actual infection, replication and spread which activates multiple arms of the immune system and memory
activates CD8 T cells to become memory and effective T cells and puts antigens on MHC I molecules - potent immune effector mech with long term immunity
alternative routes of administration
multiple routes of administartion for live attenuated
oral polio- sugar cube- mucosa immunity
flu mist- intranasal- mucosal immunity
live attenutated vaccines disadvantages
can genetically revert back to wild type making it virulent requiring boosters and may infect acquired/ inherited mmunodefficent people
oral sabin polio vacciine
can genetically revert
what are whole inactivated vaccines
bacteria or virus are killed usually chemically making them unable to infect cells
benifits of whole inactivated vaccines
multiple parts of the pathogen can be recognized as antigens increasing likelihood for immune activation
drawbacks for whole inactivated vaccines
may have chemicals left in them
less effective becasue no infection, need multiple doses,
small amounts of endo or exo toxin
requires adjuvant
alternative routes possible but rn only instramuscular
what happens when you inject a vaccine intramuscularly
limits activation of mucosal immunity
how can we test for endotoxin
horseshoe crab blood
turns blue bc of limulus amebocyte lysate coagulates when endotoxin is present
what kind of vaccine do influenza, hep A, injected salk polio, pertussis and typhoid bacteria
whole inactivated
what do subunit vaccines include
representative proteins from pathogen. that are imortant targets for immune response
how are subunit vaccines prepared
chemical synth
or
expression of proteinin euk or bact cells followed by purification
what do subunit vaccines require
adjuvant and boosting
can combine proteins in lipid carrier to induce cell mediated response
what are toxoids
chemically inactivated subunit vaccines
what is a drawback and benifit to subunit vaccines
stronger antibody/ humoral response than cell mediated
safe but weak
