Q

how did vaccination with cowpox pustule material protect people from smallpox virus infection?

A

since cowpox and smallpox viruses share some surface antigens, immunization with cowpox induces Ab against the similar cowpox surface Ag. then, these cowpox Ab bind and neutralize smallpox virus

Q

tell me about formaldehyde in vaccines

A

formaldehyde is used to inactivate viruses or bacterial toxins, and is washed out before production. trace amounts may remain, but there is more formaldehyde in antihistamines, cough drops, mouthwash, carpet, cosmetics, paint, markers, automobile exhaust

A

4 doses 2 month apart starting at 2 months

30
Q

IPV schedule

A

2 doses at 2 and 4 months, 3rd dose between 6-18months, last dose 4-6 years old

31
Q

MMR and varicella schedule

A

1 dose at 12mo, 2nd 4-6yo

32
Q

when can baby get Hep A vaccine?

A

12 months

33
Q

why do we wait to give some vaccines until 12 months old

A

persistent circulating maternal Ig may bind to Ag that was delivered by the vaccine, and block adequate immune activation

34
Q

why are some vaccines given multiple times?

A

formulation of vaccine itself may provide limited amt of Ag to mount an immune response, plus multiple doses ensure adequate immunity generated by different strains

35
Q

what are live attenuated vaccines?

A

microbes cultured in an organism that it isn’t supposed to be in, thereby weakening it, aka promote loss ability to cause significant disease (decreased virulence)

36
Q

which vaccines are live attenuated?

A
  1. MMR
  2. rotavirus
  3. polio (oral sabin - not used)
  4. Tb (not used)
  5. varicella
  6. yellow fever
37
Q

advantages of live attenuated

A
  1. strong immune response bc can replicate (CTL and HLA class I action)
  2. lifelong memory (memory cells)
  3. few doses
38
Q

disadvantages of live attenuated

A
  1. needs to be refrigerated
  2. may mutate to virulent form (highly unlikely)
  3. immunosuppressed cannot get
39
Q

what is inactivated/killed vaccine?

A

microbes inactivated by heat or formaldehyde so pathogen can induce immunity but cannot replicate within the host

40
Q

which vaccines are inactivated?

A
  1. Hep A
  2. cholera
  3. flu
  4. plague
  5. polio (salk used)
  6. rabies
41
Q

advantages of inactivated vaccines?

A
  1. stable storage (doesnt need to be refrigerated)
  2. safer than live attenuated
  3. safe for immunosuppressed
42
Q

disadvantage of inactivated vaccines?

A
  1. weaker immune response (mostly Ig production)

2. more doses to induce effective immunity bc it doesn’t replicate

43
Q

what are subunit (acellular) vaccines?

A

components of infectious agent are used in formulation (toxoid, capsular polysaccharides, recombinant proteins)

44
Q

what occurs when vaccinated with a toxoid?

A

neutralizing Ig

45
Q

which are toxoid vaccines?

A

tetanus and diptheria (they need to be combined with something to stimulate dendritic cell maturation)

46
Q

what occurs when vaccinated with capsular polysaccharides?

A

opsonizing Ig

47
Q

which are capsular polysaccharide vaccines?

A

PCV23, neisseria meningitidis

48
Q

what occurs when vaccinated with recombinant proteins?

A

neutralizing and or opsonizing Ig

49
Q

which is recombinant protein vaccine?

A

Hep B

50
Q

which vaccines are subunit/acellular?

A
  1. DTaP
  2. Hep B
  3. streptococcus pneumoniae (PCV23)
51
Q

advantages of subunit?

A
  1. immune system targeted to recognize toxin
  2. specific Ag used so low chance of adverse reaction
  3. safe for immunosuppressed patients
52
Q

disadvantages of subunit?

A
  1. require adjuvant

2. difficult to produce

53
Q

what are conjugate vaccines?

A

vaccines against non-protein Ag (opsonizing IgG directed against polysaccharide capsules)

54
Q

most effective defense against bacteria that have polysaccharide capsules?

A

opsonization of capsule by Ig

55
Q

what occurs if you conjugate bacterial polysachharide to protein carrier?

A

TFH responds but leads to B cell memory response, not T cell memory.

56
Q

describe what occurs when conjugated vaccine enters the system

A
  1. BCR can bind polysaccharide to trigger B cell activation
  2. DC binds to conjugate vaccine via binding to the toxoid
  3. DC processes toxoid and displays on MHC II to activate TFH cells
  4. BCR signaling commenses, conjugate vaccine is endocytosed and digested.
  5. toxoid peptides loaded on MHC II
  6. MHC II peptides engage TCR of activated pre-TFH cells
  7. B cells receive IL-2,IL-4, IL-5 to initiate B cell proliferation and CD40 ligation to induce AID for somatic hypermutation
  8. pre-TFH turn into TFH and migrate into germinal center to engage GC B cells and do PC differentiation and B cell memory generation
  9. PC produce Ig specific for capsule Ag
  10. TFH interaction ensures that LLPC and B memory cells develop = long term protection from bacteria thorugh capsule Ag specific Ig
57
Q

why is it important that TFH engage with GC B cells after vaccine

A

aid in PC differentiation and B cell memory generation, and ensures that they develop

58
Q

goal of conjugated vaccines

A

provoke a B cell response to a carb, not a T cell response to a peptide. toxoid is used to activate TFH so that B cells become memory and make Ig specific for toxoid

59
Q

what is adjuvant

A

substances that enhance immunogenicity of Ag by establishing a state of inflammation

60
Q

which vaccines contain purified Ag that are not strong immunogens?

A

subunit and conjugate vaccines, so they need adjuvants

61
Q

what is a good adjuvant for Ig production?

A

super small amounts of aluminum salts (alum)

62
Q

what do adjuvants do?

A

promote increased Ag uptaek and processing, MHC class II and CD40 and CD86 expression to mature the APC/DC

63
Q

what is CD86

A

signal 2 costimulation
