Lecture 26 (Vaccination) Flashcards
what are vaccines?
vaccines are biologic preparations that provide active acquired immunity to a particular disease process
typically, vaccines contain agents that resemble ________________ in disease process
proteins/substances
vaccines may be ____________ to prevent or ameliorate future disease
a) prophylactic
b) therapeutic
a) prophylactic
vaccines may be __________ to treat a current disease process (cancer vaccines)
a) prophylactic
b) therapeutic
b) therapeutic
what is immunoprophylaxis?
the enhancement of a specific immune response
colostral antibodies, anti-toxin, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies
a) passive immunization
b) active immunization
a) passive immunization
administer antigen to generate specific immunologic responses
a) passive immunization
b) active immunization
b) active immunization
sterilizing immunity is maximum response (Feline parvovirus)
a) response may prevent infection
b) response may prevent disease
a) response may prevent infection
-non-sterilizing immunity (feline calicivirus, herpes virus, etc.)
-agent can infect but causes minimal to no disease
-does not prevent chronic carrier status
a) response may prevent infection
b) response may prevent disease
b) response may prevent disease
dried nervous tissue from rabid animals could provide prophylaxis against rabies
a) infectious vaccine
b) non-infectious vaccine
b) non-infectious vaccine
passive immunization
-transfer of specific antibodies or immune-reactive substances from one individual to another
-maternal immunity (placental or colostral)
-prophylactic and therapeutic (tetanus toxoid)
prophylactic and therapeutic are an example of [passive/active] immunization
passive immunization
disadvantages of passive immunization
-allergic reactions may occur
-transfer of disease possible
-delays ability to vaccinate
-short-lived protection
advantages of passive immunization
-immediate protection
-good for poor immunogens (tumor antigens)
discuss active immunization
-stimulating the host with all or part of an organism (i.e. antigen)
-produces an active immune response
-prolonged period of protection/strong immune protection
active immunization can be achieved through what two things?
-natural infection
-vaccination
vaccine design must deliver __________ efficiently to antigen-presenting cells
antigen
why do both B and T cells need to be stimulated by a vaccine?
-to generate humoral and cellular immunity
-to generate large numbers of memory cells
T cells should be reactive to multiple epitopes in the vaccine to improve the likelihood of a response across _________ alleles
MHC II
ideal vaccine should be…
-inexpensive
-stable
-adaptable to mass vaccination
-confer strong & long lasting immunity w/ no or minimal side effects
may contain inactivated partial or whole pathogen
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
pathogen often denatured to inactivate
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
stable storage
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
safe in immunosuppressed patients (pregnant patients)
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
will not spread to other patients
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
generate TH2 CD4+ response
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
subunit/recombinant vaccines
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
require adjuvant
a) noninfectious vaccine
b) infectious vaccine
a) noninfectious vaccine
what is an adjuvant?
-a chemical additive that increases the effectiveness of vaccines
-increases duration and amount of immune-stimulation
t/f: adjuvants can cause local reactions
