Immunizations Flashcards
procedure designed to increase concentrations of antibodies or effector t cells reactive against infection
vaccine
vaccine before exposure to infectious agent
immunoprophylaxis
vaccine during an active infection
immunotherapy
goal of immunoprophylaxis
prevent
goal of immunotherapy
cure
two types of immunizations
passive
active
immunity with no immunological memory without th cells
passive
immunity with induction of adaptive response with protection and memor
active
immunity with protective abs and non immune recipient
passive
natural maternal serum/milk
passive immunity
artificial immune system
passive immunity
natural infection
active immunity
artificial infection
active immunity
Vaccine types
- attenuated
- inactivated
- cloned genes of microbial antigens
- purified microbial macromolecules
- synthetic peptides
- DNa
attenuated vaccine
live
- vital function inactivated by heat, chemicals or genetic manipulation
inactivated vaccine
dead
uses toxoid
inactivated toxins which are purified proteins
mechanism of vaccines
establish resistance to virus by evoking immune response
Three mechanisms of vaccines
- give host foreign organism in non-pathogenic form
- humoral response
- cd8 cell mediated response
humoral response in vaccines
antibodies generated and bind to surface antigens
cd8 cell mediated in vaccines
chronic viral infection, cancer
what type of responses do attenuated vaccines produce
cell mediated
antibody mediated
smallpox
induce vigorous t cell response
related vaccine
types of attenuated vaccines
smallpox polio measles mumps rubella varicella yellow fever rotovirus
Polio vaccine
replicated in gut induces IgA
- recommended use killed
measles vaccine
induce t cell response
not life long
mumps
deafness in children
rubella
pregnant women
varicella
chicken pox and shingles
yellow fever
required for travelers
rotovirus
oral pentavalent
infants
attenuated flu
- genetically recombinant
- cold adapted
- temperature sensitive
single pathogen responsible for most death and disease
BCG
how many people in world are infected with M. tuberculosis?
1/3
what percent have active infection in m. tuberculosis?
10%
deaths per year in m. tuberculosis
2-3 million
BCG hypersensitivity
delayed type
- produce skin test response
what is the most widely used vaccine?
BCG
What is used in US instead of BCG vaccine?
skin test
chemo
future problem with BCG
TB
AIDS
antibiotic resistant
