Q

Prevention concept

A
  • The goals of medicine are to promote health, to preserve health, to restore health when it is impaired, and to minimize suffering and distress.
  • These goals are embodied in the word “prevention”

Def of Vaccines

A
  • Weapons to prevent diseases, made of microorganisms (similar to ones cause diseases) or of toxins produced by the microorganisms (antigenic non toxigenic) that cannot harm people.

Q

Preparation & MOA of Live Attenuated Vaccines

A
  • Wild viruses are attenuated or weakened in a laboratory usually by repeated culturing to produce an immune response.
  • A relatively small dose of virus is administered, which replicates in the body and creates enough of the organism to stimulate an immune response.

Q

Preparation & MOA of Killed vaccines

A
  • Inactivated vaccines are produced by growing the virus in culture media, then inactivating it with heat and or chemicals (usually formalin).
  • Most inactivated vaccines, however, stimulate a weaker immune system response than do live vaccines.
  • So it would likely take several additional doses, or booster shots, to maintain a person’s immunity.

Q

Introduction of tetanus toxoid pathology

A
  • Some bacterial diseases are not directly caused by a bacterium itself, but by a toxin produced by the bacterium.
  • One example is tetanus: its symptoms are not caused by the Clostridium tetani bacterium, but by a neurotoxin it produces (tetanospasmin).

Q

Preparation & MOA of TT

A
  • Immunizations for this type of pathogen can be made by inactivating the toxin that causes disease symptoms.
  • As with organisms or viruses used in killed or inactivated vaccines, this can be done via treatment with a chemical such as formalin, or by using heat or
    other methods.

Q

Subunit Vx by genetic engineering

A
  • Another type of subunit vaccine can be created via genetic engineering.
  • A gene coding for a vaccine protein is inserted into another virus, or into producer cells in culture.
  • When the carrier virus reproduces, or when the producer cell metabolizes, the vaccine protein is also created.
  • The end result of this approach is a recombinant vaccine
  • The immune system will recognize the expressed protein and provide future protection against the target virus.

Q

Prep & MOA of Conjugate vaccines

A
  • Are made using pieces from the coats of bacteria.
  • These coats are chemically linked to a carrier protein, and the combination is used as a vaccine.
  • Conjugate vaccines are used to create a more powerful, combined immune response: typically the “piece” of bacteria being presented would not generate a strong immune response on its own, while the carrier protein would.
  • The piece of bacteria can’t cause illness, but combined with a carrier protein, it can generate immunity against future infection.
