Q

Killed/inactivated virus vaccines properties

A

They have been chemically or physically altered

33
Q

Benefits of killed/inactivated virus vaccines

A

Generates memory helper T cells and B cells

34
Q

Problems with killed/inactivated virus vaccines

A

Large amounts of the virus is required

35
Q

Examples of killed/inactivated virus vaccines

A

Influenza
Polio
Rabies

36
Q

Properties of live attenuated virus vaccines

A

Mutant non-pathogenic form of the virus—- it has been weakened but still alive.
Triggered cytotoxic T cells to respond

37
Q

Benefits of live attenuated virus vaccines

A

More natural immunity than killed/inactivated viruses

38
Q

Live attenuated virus vaccines produces:

A

Memory killer T cells

39
Q

Examples of live attenuated virus vaccines

A 
Mumps
Measles
Polio
Rubella
Yellow fever
40
Q

How are viruses weakened for attenuated viruses?

A

A virus is grown in human cultured cells

The cultured virus is then used to infect another animals’ cells

The virus will acquire a variety of mutations that allow it to grow well in the animal.

That mutation no longer grows well in human cells, so can then be used as a vaccine

41
Q

Polio vaccine types

A

Both inactivated and live attenuated

42
Q

First polio vaccine was made by:

43
Q

The 1st polio vaccine injected:

A

Killed vaccine made of several polio viruses

44
Q

First polio vaccine was treated with:

A

Formaldehyde

45
Q

2nd polio vaccine was developed by:

46
Q

2nd polio vaccine type

A

Live attenuated virus

47
Q

Benefit of the live attenuated virus vaccine for polio:

A

Better protection and easier to administer

48
Q

Polio virus vaccine are given in:

49
Q

Problems with the polio vaccines

A

Salk- incomplete killing

Sabin- Incomplete attenuation

50
Q

Properties of subunit vaccines

A

Purified viral antigen particles (surface of the antigen is removed)

51
Q

Example of subunit vaccine

A

Hepatitis B - viral surface antigen

52
Q

Properties of DNA vaccines

A

Producing subunit particles from recombinant DNA

Vaccines are produces directly from DNA

53
Q

Virus causing severe diarrhea in children’s

54
Q

Romaric

Rotates

55
Q

Rotarix is what type of vaccine

A

Attenuated rotavirus

56
Q

What type of vaccine is rotateq?

A

Antigens from animal rotavirus

57
Q

Genetically engineered vaccine

A

Carrier vaccines

58
Q

How are carrier vaccines made?

A

Pathogenic gene is inserted into non-pathogenic virus

59
Q

Carrier vaccine example:

A

Currently developing rabies vaccinations

60
Q

Tuberculosis vaccine is derived from:

It is used:

A

Bovine strain

Overseas

61
Q

Typhoid fever, AKA:

A

Salmonella types

62
Q

Vaccine for typhoid fever type

A

Live-attenuated— defected enzyme

63
Q

Vaccines against bacterial toxin

A

Toxin-based vaccines

64
Q

Toxin-based vaccine examples

A

Corynebacterium diphtheria

Clostridium tetani

65
Q

Toxin-based vaccines require

A

An antibody response

66
Q

Capsule-based vaccines properties:

A

Triggers the antibody response against the capsule

These bacteria have a sticky coating on the outside. This vaccine removes the coating

67
Q

Examples of capsule-based vaccines

A

strep pneumonia
Neisseria meningitidis,
Haemophilus influenza
E. Coli

68
Q

Vaccines that have different antigens recognized by B cells and T cells linked together so they can be seen more easily

A

conjugate vacciens

69
Q

Neisseria meningitidis vaccines

A

meningitis polysaccharides with tetanus or diphtheria toxoid

70
Q

Process of activating T and B cells

A

B cell binds bacterial polysaccharide component of vaccine conjugate , which is then internalized and degraded

peptides from the toxoid are presented to the T cell, which activates the B cell

Activated B cell differentiates into a plasma cell producing anti-polysaccharide antibodies that bind to bacteria

71
Q

What is added to conjugate vaccines that are too small to be detected?

72
Q

What are adjuvants added to conjugate vaccines for?

A

to trigger both innate and adaptive immunity

73
Q

Example of conjugate vaccines with adjuvants

A

DTP-diptheria
Tetanus
Pertussis

74
Q

Non-vaccine examples of adjuvants

A

Alum

Oil in water

75
Q

Active Immunity

A

Immunity that we are exposed to and have the the memory for. This includes all vaccines discussed so far

76
Q

Passive immunity

A

Antibodies given to you- there is no memory.

77
Q

example of passive immunity

78
Q

New vaccines for new and old pathogens

A

Influenza

Measles

Herd immunity
