Q

Why are live attenuated vaccines very effective?

A

They replicate, sustained exposure to antigen, they replicate intracellulary, present on MHC1, stimulating cytotoxic T cells (CMI as well as Ab), they replicate at the actual site of infection-> producing the right type of response int he right place

Q

DTaP vaccine is an inactivated version of what two toxins?

A

Diphtheria toxin and tetanus toxin

23
Q

What does the A/B toxin bind with to prevent transcription?

A

EF-2

24
Q

What are the disadvantages of anti-capsular vaccines?

A

Carbohydrates are poorly immunogenic. To increase their immunogenicity, the carbohydrates from an encapsulated pathogen may be conjugated to proteins. Also, some bacteria have many different capsular types. An immune response against one capsule type is not protective against other capsule types

25
Q

What can help tackle capsular bacteria?

A

Antibodies, increased complement activation

26
Q

What refers to the idea that not everyone needs to be vaccinated to gain protection against a disease, as long as they’re surrounded by people who are immune to that disease?

A

Herd Immunity

27
Q

What three disease have essentially been eliminated in the US?

A

Diphtheria, polio, and measles

28
Q

________ was eradicated in 1977 as the result of a global vaccination campaign

A

Smallpox

29
Q

What is called an endotoxin, can be activated through two different pathways?

A

LPS, TLR4, two pathways

30
Q

What disease has the B-subunit binding to intestinal epithelia, and A-subunit increasing cAMP?

A

Cholera toxin

31
Q

What is a B-subunit that binds to motor neurons, A-subunit stops acetylcholine release?

A

Botulism toxin

32
Q

Give an example of live attenuated vaccines 9 total

A

Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella zoster, rotavirus, vaccinia (smallpox), Sabin oral polio, intranasal influenza, yellow fever

33
Q

Give an example of inactivated vaccine 7 total

A

Hep A, rabies, Influenza, Salk polio, typhoid, cholera, plague

34
Q

Give an example of recombinant sub-unit vaccines. 4 total

A

Acellular Pertussis,Human Papilloma Virus (quadrivalent), Anthrax, Hepatitis B

35
Q

Give an example of a toxoid vaccine 3 total

A

Tetanus, Diphtheria, Cholera

36
Q

What are the two subunits on Bordtella pertussis that vaccines look for?

A

Pertactin and Hemagglutinin

37
Q

What does hepatitis B vaccine bind too?

A

Hepatitis B antigen

38
Q

Why does an eldery person need a non-protein conjugated vaccine?

A

The vaccine can cover more capsule types, older person doesn’t have an active thymus, must rely on B1 reactions

39
Q

In a patient symptom set, if doesn’t hurt and not necrotic comes up, what is a strong case for this “thing”?

A

A/B toxin, with the three mechanisms

40
Q

What are dark lines in the nail beds called?

A

Splinter Hemorrhages

41
Q

What are tender nodules on the digits?

A

Osler Nodes

42
Q

What are the Janeway lesions?

A

Non-tender maculae on the palms and soles

43
Q

What are the Roth Spots?

A

Rare retinal hemorrhages with small, clear center

A

Staphylococcal Aureus Superantigens

45
Q

What bug are SPE-A, SPE-B, SPE-C?

A

Streptococcal Pyrogenic Exotoxins NOT S. Aureus

46
Q

What is a good adjuvant for vaccines?

A

Toll like receptors

47
Q

What are good vaccines that will help with children just born?

A

Hepatitis B and DTap

48
Q

What two vaccines are anti-capsular, that are protein conjugated for children?

A

Meningococcal, Men B

49
Q

Pneumococcal, Hib, and Hib are anti-capsular, but they are what?

A

Not protein conjugated, best for elderly, no more thymus

50
Q

Carbohydrates can bind to B-cell receptors, but not to T-cell receptors. So you’ll never get __________ from an anti-capsule vaccine, and you won’t get so much antibody either.

A

cell-mediated immunity, get a little IgM

51
Q

Live attenuated vaccines make a humoral and ____________response. What antibodies do they make and why?

A

cell mediated IgA -> make antibodies in the area that are needed

52
Q

Whole killed bacteria –> use what immune response?

A

humoral only

53
Q

Micrococcus, Kytococcus, and Kocuria species of bacteria are Gram-positive cocci that grow on the skin, they show up as what in a gram stain?

A

tetrads, non-pathogenic, can mess up a patient sample, they are gamma hemolytic

54
Q

What is the most common source of community acquired pneumonia?

A

Streptococcus Pneumonia
