Chapter 18 - Practical Application of Immunology [Reversed] Flashcards
_______ injection of substances (Ags) into the body to induce an immune response
Vaccine
_______ provokes a primary immune response to form memory B cells & Ab. Leads to a rapid & intense secondary immune response.
Vaccination
_______ a substance that stimulates the immune system

_____ protects most of the population
Herd Immunity
weakened pathogens that closely mimic an actual infection.
Live, attenuated vaccine
killed pathogens and are safer than live vaccines
Inactivated, killed vaccines
inactivated toxin that creates an immune response that targets toxins
Toxoid vaccines
main vaccine component is combined with a strong immunogen
Conjugated vaccine
Antigenic fragments stimulate an immune response
Subunit vaccine
Inj. mRNA into host cells, creating protein Ags that stimulate host immune response
mRNA vaccine
_________ study or diagnostic examination of blood serum
Serology
______ is positive for an Ag or Ab
Positive Test
_______ is negative for Ag or Ab
Negative Test
Inv. soluble Ag and IgM or IgG.
Precipitation Reactions
a cloudy ring that forms at the equivalence zone caused by the formation of immune complexes.
