Immuno3 0519FA Flashcards
passive immunity
acquired through PREFORMED Abs.
rapid onset.
short span of Ab (3 wks).
examples of passive immunity
IgA in breast milk.
antitoxin.
humanized monoclonal Ab.
active immunity
acquired through exposure to foreign Ags.
slow onset.
long-lasting protection (memory).
examples of active immunity
natural infx.
vaccines.
toxoid.
preformed Abs are given to pts after exposure to…?
Tetanus toxin.
Botulinum toxin.
HBV.
Rabies virus.
“To Be Healed Rapidly” with passive immunity
purpose of vaccines
induce ACTIVE immune response (humoral or cell-mediated) to specific pathogens
live attenuated vaccine
microorganism loses pathogenicity but retains capacity for transient growth within inoculated host
what kind of imm response is induced by live attenuated vaccine?
mainly cellular
pros of live attenuated vaccine
induces strong, often lifelong immunity
cons of live attenuated vaccine
may revert to VIRULENT form
examples of live attenuated vaccine
polio (Sabin).
MMR (measles, mumps, rubella).
varicella.
yellow fever.
inactivated or killed vaccine
pathogen inactivated by heat or chemicals.
maintain epitope structure of surface Ags is important for imm response.
what kind of imm response is induced by inactivated or killed vaccine?
humoral
pros of inactivated or killed vaccine
stable and safer than live vaccines
cons of inactivated or killed vaccine
weaker imm response.
BOOSTER SHOTS usually required.
examples of inactivated or killed vaccine
cholera. influenza. Hep A. polio (Salk). rabies.
