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
Conjugated vaccines are an example of
Subunit vaccines
26
Not the whole microbe but is attached to a foreign protein.
Conjugated vaccines
27
Conjugated vaccines examples (2)
Pneumonia vaccines Heamophiulus influenza
28
Developed to get a better immune response to polysaccharide vaccines
Conjugated vaccines
29
Antigenic but not toxic
Toxoids
30
Require a series of injections
Toxoids
31
3 examples of toxoids
Diphtheria toxoid Tetanus toxoid D and T of DTaP
32
Future vaccines (2)
Viral vectors Nucleic acid vaccine
33
Viral vectors
Insert gene coding for Ag into vaccinia virus Give people the recombinant virus Virus expresses the Ag People mount an immune response
34
nucleic acid vaccine
Inject the DNA coding for the protein Ag DNA and thus the protein is expressed Immune response is mounted by the host
35
Viral vector vaccine for covid
AstraZeneca
36
DNA vaccines
Nucleic acid vaccines
37
2 DNA vaccines approved for animals
West Nile Disease in Salmon
38
Benefits of nucleic acid vaccines (4)
Cheaper No need for needles No need for refrigeration Safe because they contain no whole microbes
39
Vaccines that carry genetic material that teaches cells how to make a harmless piece of “spike protein”
m-RNA vaccines
40
Does RNA enter the nucleus?
No
41
Do mRNA vaccines affect our DNA? Why or why not?
NO! RNA cannot enter the nucleus of the cell
42
What happens to the genetic material from the vaccine after copies of the spike protein is made?
Destroyed by the cells
