Question 17

suspension of living or inactivated org used as an antigen to confer immunity

Answer 17

vax

Question 18

uses dead org as antigen

Answer 18

killed/inactivated vax
- stable on storage
- unlikely to cause residual virulence
- do not replicate in recipient
- unlikely to contain live org
- will not spread to other animals
- safe in immunodeficient
- easier to store
- low development cost
- no risk of reversion

Question 19

uses weakened live org as antigen

Answer 19

live or modified live vax
- fewer doses
- unnecessary adjuvants
- less chance of hypersensitivity
- interferon induction
- cheaper
- small doses
- can be given natural route
- stimulate humoral and cell-mediated response
- long-lasting

category II - genetically attenuated org (Pseudorabies)

Question 22

antigen-coding gene is inserted into the genome of another virus

Answer 22

Category III - live recombinant (FeLV, CPV1, RABV, COVID)
