Immunizing Agent Flashcards
2nd topic
Innate or Adaptive: no allergic reaction
Innate
Innate or Adaptive: immediate and delay hypersensitivity
Adaptive
Examples of innate immunity
physical barriers/exogenous (skin)
endogenous (stomach acid)
mucosal secretions
phagocytosis (PMNs)
NK cells
WBCs
Lymphocytes
Macrophages
It is the foreign substance that comes in contact with the human body
antigen
common examples of antigens
viruses
bacteria
microorganisms
common examples of adaptive/acquired immunity
vaccines
why is adaptive immunity slow
antibody production takes time
which is more potent, innate or adaptive
adaptive
example of cells in adaptive (acquired) immunity
T cells (cytokines)
B cells (antibodies)
what is phagocytosis
engulfing foreign substances
what specific T cell are CD8 and CD4
cytotoxic T cells (CD8)
helper T cells (CD4)
Active or Passive: individual produces antibody
active
Active or Passive: follows immunization or infection
active
Active or Passive: memory (lasting)
active
Active or Passive: antibody transferred to individual
passive
Active or Passive: gamma-globulin, injections, placental transfer
passive
Active or Passive: no memory (temporary)
passive
Active or Passive: stimulates the body’s immune system
active
Active or Passive: body produces antibodies or cell mediated immunity, or both, which protects against infectious agent (vaccines, toxoids)
active
Active or Passive: consists of providing temporary protection through the administration of exogenously produced antibodies
passive
example of passive immunity
transplacental immunity
immunoglobulin injection (specific purposes)
how long does transplacental immunity (IgG) last
first 3-6 months of life
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): infection
natural active
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): vaccination
artificial active
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): transfer in vivo or colostrum
natural passive
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): infusion of serum/plasma
artificial passive
half life of IgG immune antibody
23 days
lifespan of memory cells (memory lymphocytes)
years
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): transplacental transfer of IgG and breast milk
natural passive
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): immunoglobulins and antisera (antitoxins)
artificial passive
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): vaccination
artificial active
identify what type of immunity (active natural/artificial or passive natural/artificial): immunity after infection
natural active
duration of natural passive immunity
short period of time only
this immunity happens when a person is exposed to a live pathogen, develops the disease, and becomes immune
natural active
substances or organisms that provokes an immune response (produces immunity) when introduced into the body
immunizing agents
suspension of attenuated live or killed microorganisms administered to induce immunity and thereby prevent infectious disease
vaccines
contains 15% - 18% protein obtained by cold ethanol fractionation of large pools of blood plasma
immunoglobulins
primarily indicated for certain immune deficient people, passive immunization against measles and Hep A, and special IV preparations for immunoglobulin deficient patients
immunoglobulins
blood serum containing monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies that is used to spread passive immunity to many diseases
antisera
what is the smallest and the most dominant Ig in the body
IgG
killed or live vaccine: multiple doses
killed
killed or live vaccine: single dose
live
killed or live vaccine: need for adjuvant
killed
killed or live vaccine: no need for adjuvant
live
killed or live vaccine: longer duration of immunity
live
killed or live vaccine: shorter duration of immunity
killed
killed or live vaccine: greater effects
live
killed or live vaccine: lower effects
killed
killed or live vaccine: produces only IgG
killed
killed or live vaccine: produces IgG and IgA
live
killed or live vaccine: stable at room temp
killed
killed or live vaccine: low stability at room temp
live
characteristics of effective vaccines
safety
protection
long lasting effects
cost
administration
constituents of immunizing agents
suspending fluid
preservative, stabilizers, antibiotics
adjuvants
common example of suspending fluid
NSS or distilled water
this may be a complex fluid containing small amounts of protein in other constituents derived from the medium or biologic system in which the immunizing agent is produced (serum proteins, egg antigens, cell culture-derived agents)
suspending fluid
this is used to vaccines to inhibit or prevent bacterial growth in viral culture or the final product, and to stabilize the antigen
preservatives, stabilizers, antibiotics
true or false: allergic reactions may occur because of the adjuvants used in vaccines
false, allergic ractions may occur because of the preservatives, stabilizers, antibiotics used in vaccines
this enhances the immune response to vaccines containing inactivated microorganisms
adjuvants
adjuvants can be in what forms
aluminum salt
oil in water adjuvants
refers to the antibody-containing preparations
antiserum
