Immunologic Flashcards
Stimulate immune system to activate B-cells , T-cells and produce antibodies and memory cells to that organism
Active immunity
Patients immune system does not get activated, the patient gets antibodies that are ready to fight
Passive immunity
The rabies vx is what type of vaccine and what immunity does it stimulate
Killed, active immunity
The influenza vx is what type of vaccine and what immunity does it stimulate
Killed, active immunity
Requires repeat dosing to get adequate response and response can be short
Inactivated (killed) vaccines
May be fully virulent or avirulent and therefore cause illness
Live vaccines
Effective vaccines that produce long lived response with fewer repeated doses
Modified live (attenuated) vaccines
Fewer side effects and produce effective immunity
Recombinant vaccines
Produces immunity to a toxin instead of an organism
Toxoid vaccines
The tetanus vx is what type of vaccine and what immunity does it stimulate
Antitoxin, passive immunity
Antiserum produces what type of immunity
Passive
Kills living infectious antigens, immunity if short lived
Antiserum
Antitoxin vx immunity is short lived and last about
7-14 days
Contains a mixture of different antigens
Mixed/polyvalent vxs
Immune responses take up to ____ to take full effect
