17
Q

Are attenuated vaccines able to replicate?

A

Yes, but its not virulent, meaning not very harmful.

18
Q

What is dangerous about whole agent vaccines?

A

They can mutate back to dangerous forms.

19
Q

Contains parts of the microorganisms that will best stimulate the immunogenicity response.

A

Subunit vaccines

20
Q

Subunit vaccines 3 benefits

A

Safer
No whole microbe
Less side effects

21
Q

2 examples of subunit vaccines

A

Influenza type B and Hep B

22
Q

2 types of subunit vaccines

A

Bacterial capsules

23
Q

Bacterial capsules examples (2)

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae and Hemophilus influenza type B

24
Q

viral Peplomers example

A

Hep B= recombinant virus

25
Q

Conjugated vaccines are an example of

A

Subunit vaccines

26
Q

Not the whole microbe but is attached to a foreign protein.

A

Conjugated vaccines

27
Q

Conjugated vaccines examples (2)

A

Pneumonia vaccines
Heamophiulus influenza

28
Q

Developed to get a better immune response to polysaccharide vaccines

A

Conjugated vaccines

29
Q

Antigenic but not toxic

A

Toxoids

30
Q

Require a series of injections

A

Toxoids

31
Q

3 examples of toxoids

A

Diphtheria toxoid
Tetanus toxoid
D and T of DTaP

32
Q

Future vaccines (2)

A

Viral vectors
Nucleic acid vaccine

33
Q

Viral vectors

A

Insert gene coding for Ag into vaccinia virus
Give people the recombinant virus
Virus expresses the Ag
People mount an immune response

34
Q

nucleic acid vaccine

A

Inject the DNA coding for the protein Ag
DNA and thus the protein is expressed
Immune response is mounted by the host

35
Q

Viral vector vaccine for covid

A

AstraZeneca

36
Q

DNA vaccines

A

Nucleic acid vaccines

37
Q

2 DNA vaccines approved for animals

A

West Nile
Disease in Salmon

38
Q

Benefits of nucleic acid vaccines (4)

A

Cheaper
No need for needles
No need for refrigeration
Safe because they contain no whole microbes

39
Q

Vaccines that carry genetic material that teaches cells how to make a harmless piece of “spike protein”

A

m-RNA vaccines

40
Q

Does RNA enter the nucleus?

A

No

41
Q

Do mRNA vaccines affect our DNA? Why or why not?

A

NO! RNA cannot enter the nucleus of the cell

42
Q

What happens to the genetic material from the vaccine after copies of the spike protein is made?

A

Destroyed by the cells
