Lectures 15 & 16 - Vaccines Flashcards
What are phagocytic cells
Neutrophils
Macrophages
Dendritic Cells
What are antigen-presenting cells
Macrophage
Dendritic Cells
B lymphocytes
What are the classes of T cells
Helper T cells
Cytotoxic T cells
Regulator T cells
What are the classes of B cells
Memory B cell
Plasma cell
Define:
vaccine
preparation of immunogenic material used to induce initial immune response
Define:
vaccination
intentional administration of less virulent pathogens to induce an immune response and protect against later exposure
Who practiced vaccination first
Edward Jenner (smallpox vs. cowpox)
antigenically similar viruses, like cowpox and smallpox, are referred to as
host range mutants
How did Edward Jenner’s vaccine work?
introduced less dangerous cowpox which shared surface antigens with smallpox so the immune system was able to identify
What is the main objective of vaccination
induce B and T lymphocytes to differentiate and produce antigen-specific components
what is passive immunity
born w/ or acquired via maternal passage
MHC II deals with ______ pathogens
exogenous
MHC I deals with _____ pathogens
endogenous
What causes B cells to proliferate
T helper cells
Disease refers to _______ while infection refers to ________
symptoms; presence
Where does the rapid expansion of B and T cells occur
after 2nd exposure
For systemic infections, what is preeminent
IgG
For localized infections, what is preeminent
IgA
what does the preeminent role of IgG or IgA do
prevent systemic spread (IgG)
block entry at the mucosal barrier (IgA)
Where are IgG presented to lymphocytes
lymph nodes and spleen
Where is IgA presented to lymphocytes
submucosa sites
describe the direct development of acquired immunity
Plasma cell to antibody to pathogen
describe the indirect development of acquired immunity
plasma cell to antibody to macrophages
