How are antibodies created
Primary exposure: activates lymphocytes
Secondary exposure: boosts antibody production for long term immunity
Explain: Types of immunity
Passive- acquired from mother in utero (no memory)
Active- acquired infection/illness or vaccinated (immunological memory lymphocytes)
Define: Antibody mediated immunity
is antibody production
Define: Immunisation
is the process of inducing immunity artificially
List the types of Vaccinations
- Killed bacteria
- Inactivated viruses
- Live, attenuated bacteria
- Toxoids (inactivated toxins)
- Attenuated virus
- Microbial subunit
What are the 2 types of immunoglobulin immunisation preparations
- NHIG (Normal Human Immunoglobulin)
- Specific Immunoglobulin
Which types of immunisations are better
1st- Live/attenuated vaccines
2nd- toxoid/subunits
3rd- Immunoglobulins
Define: Herd Immunity
(also called community based immunity)
- is when enough people in a specific population are immunised against a disease to provide herd immunity rom those un-vaccinated in the area
What are the 3 types of immune response
- It is antigen-specific — directed against particular pathogens or foreign substances.
- It is systemic — not restricted to the initial site of infection.
- It has memory — once it recognises an antigen it responds by producing antibodies to subsequent invasions by the same molecule.
What are the 2 types of immunity
- Humoral immunity or antibody-mediated immunity is provided by the presence of antibodies in body fluids (humors).
- Cellular immunity or cell-mediated immunity is when lymphocytes attack an invader directly
What are the 3 cell types involved in the immune response
- B lymphocytes produce antibodies and are responsible for humoral-mediated immunity.
- T lymphocytes are involved in cell-mediated immunity.
- Macrophages support the two sets of lymphocytes.
Define: Antibodies
also called immunoglobulins (Igs), are a group of glycoproteins present in blood and tissue fluid
What are the 2 types of Humoral Immunity
Active and Passive
