Test 2 Flashcards
What does a vaccine do
Introduces An Antigen Into The Body To Stimulate The Production Of Antibodies By The Immune System
What is an antibody
The immune system response to the antigen that is invading the body
What is an Antigen
Antigen is a substance that is liquid invading the body (Setting up a reaction)
What is acquired & adaptive immunity?
- Acquired immunity is a high degree of specificy as well as the property of memory
- Adaptive immunity because it can be adaptive over time, this is the third line of defence, that produce antibodies
What is the difference between Vaccine & Bacterin?
Vaccine = If The Infectious Agent Is A Virus
Bacterin = If The Product Contains Bacterial Components
What are the 3 types of vaccines?
- MDA= Maternally derived antibodies
- Killed / Inactive
- Attenuated (weakened)
What is the MDA vaccine?
A passive vaccine that has a large amount of immunoglobulins passed to puppies
In dogs & cats for the MDA vaccine when does it have the highest levels
Week 5 in dogs
week 6 in cats
What will happen if we vaccinate or give a booster too late?
Will give us a low DOI (duration of immunity)
What is a killed/ inactive vaccine
A Vaccine Which Contains Killed Organisms
Do killed/ inactivate vaccines replicate?
Route of administration of killed & # of doses?
Is it Adjuvanted?
No replication–> complete inactivation
Parental route and have 2 doses 3-4 weeks apart
Required adjuvant
What are 2 types of attenuated vaccines & what are they?
Modified live
- Modified Living Organisms Which Are No Longer Capable Of Causing Clinical Disease
Avirulent-live bacteria
-Rapid Onset Of Local Immunity. -No Maternal Antibody Interference
What type of vaccine can be given to dogs & cats 8 weeks of age or younger and how is this applied?
Attenuated avirulent-Live vaccine
Topical
What is the main issue with attenuated modified live vaccine?
Risk of residual virulence or reversion (left over virus in your body)
What vaccine is humoral cell-mediated, replicates & mucosal immunity?
Attenuated modified live vaccine
What are the 3 types of recombinant vaccines & what are they?
- Vectored
- Genes From A Pathogen That Have Been Inserted Into An Attenuated Transport Microorganism.
- Gene-Deleted
- Containing Microorganisms From Which Pathogenic Genes Have Been Removed - Non Infectious Subunit
-Contain Only Those Structural Components Necessary To Provoke A Protective Response.
What vaccine type contains no adjuvants and causes less reactions? ALSO A BENEFIT
Recombinant
What is a subunit type vaccine?
What is the advantage of a subunit vaccine?
Contains non-Disease proteins from the Pathogen’s DNA
Requires reduced Levels Of Antigen For Immune Stimulation
What vaccine type have antibodies created in and why?
Subunit vaccine and because the immune system recognizes the proteins
What is the advantage of Vectored vaccines?
induce Humoral And T-Cell Mediated Response
What vaccine type has the organism protein administered in the vaccine
Vectored vaccine
What vaccine type has immunizing agents may be constructed by combining multiple nucleic acids to produce a polyvalent antigen and is unique?
Chimeric Vaccine
What is needed when giving doses with toxoid vaccines ? **NEGATIVE AFFECT WITH THIS **
Poor DOI so Multiple doses and boosters are needed
What is the specific part of an antigen that the Immune System responds to and are extremely small
Epitopes
