Chap 16 Flashcards
a substance produced by a living source
Biologics
any virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, or analogous
product employed for prevention, treatment, or cure of
diseases in humans.
Biologics
refers to the use of a biologic product (a vaccine) to develop active immunity in the patient.
Vaccination
innate, or native immunity depends on factors that are inborn
Natural immunity
develops in response to antigen substances in the body
Naturally acquired active immunity
develops in response to administration of a specific vaccine or toxoid
Artificially acquired active immunity
composed of killed whole bacteria or viruses Vaccines grown in cultures.
Inactivated vaccine
live but significantly weakened
microorganisms
Attenuated vaccines
occurs by introduction of the immunoglobulins produced in
anothe individual (human or animal) into the host
Passive immunity
occurs by placental transmission
of immunoglobulin gamma (IgG) from the mother to the fetus.
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Produced by infected host or produces in-vitro are given to healthy host
Artificially acquired passive immunity
Storage of biologics
2-8C or 35-46C
implies continuity from the manufacturer’s refrigerator to one’s pharmacy, clinic, or office to administration
Cold chain
Open the door how many times only?
no more than four times per day
Vaccines should be stored in?
Top or bottom shelves
a suspension of attenuated (live) or inactivated (killed) microorganisms or fractions thereof that are administered to induce immunity and prevent disease.
Vaccine
organism is grown in a suitable broth medium organisms are treated with phenol or formaldehyde
Bacterial vaccines
employ purified antigen subunits produced with use of recombinant DNA
Bacterial vaccines
cannot be grown on inanimate media
Viral vaccine
can be developed in embryonic egg, cell cultures of chick embryos, human diploid cell culture, monkey cell culture, skin of living calves, and intact mice.
Viral vaccine
developed from antigenic material procured from the tumor of the patient
Autologous tumor vaccines
These cells are killed or attenuated and reinfused into the patient.
Autologous tumor vaccines
use the concept of shared or tumor-specific. These vaccines are produced from cell lines that express tumor-specific or shared TAAs.
Allogeneic tumor vaccines
The beneficial aspect of this
vaccine is that it can be used in a wide population of patients.
