Q

MOA of bacillus calmette-Guerin (BCG)

A

(think bacteria product that triggers immune system)
Binds to urothelial cells and activates APCs (antigen presenting cells). Induces production of effector cells (CTLs, NKs, LAKs, and BAKs) Requires an intact immune system.

Same as foreign TB vaccine

17
Q

What is CA-125 and what is it used for?

A

it is a cancer antigen protein that is elevated in most ovarian cancers. It is used to measure tumor stage and drug effectiveness. It is NOT useful for screening, but CAN be used to detect relapse

18
Q

Which drug would be ineffective in an immunocompromised patient?

A

BCG
