Vaccines Flashcards
when an antibody is given to protect against infection, it is ______ ______
passive immunization
stimulation of the immune system to produce antigen-specific humoral and cell immunity is ______ ______
active immunity
live viruses must be able to _______ in order to stimulate an immune response
replicate
live vaccines may cause severe or fatal reactions as a result of uncontrolled replication of the virus - this only occurs in the _________
immunodeficient (leukemia, HIV)
newborns have circulating maternal antibodies, so they cannot receive ______ ______
live vaccines
sometimes patients don’t respond to the first dose of the vaccine, so a ___________ is recommended
second dose (MMR or varicella)
inactivated, non-replicating vaccines may be either ______ or bacteria, or ____
whole viruses
fractions of either
inactivated vaccines are produced by growing the bacterium or virus in ______ ______, then inactivating it with heat/chemicals. Much _______, can be given to immunocompromised, pregnant
culture media
safer
inactivated virus alway require _____ _____. Acts to prime the immune system.
multiple doses
antibody titers against inactivated antigens _______ with time. Some require periodic supplemental doses (boost)
diminish
fractional vaccines are either __________ or _______ based
protein or polysaccharide
young children do not consistently respond to ________ antigens
polysaccharide
conjugate polysaccharide vaccines are when the ________ is chemically linked to a _____, making it more potent (T-cell independent to T cell dependent). Polysaccharide do not “____”, whereas protein do
polysaccharide
protein
antibody induced with polysaccharide has ____ functional activity than that induced by _____ antigens. The predominant antibody produced in response to polysacc. is IgM, and little IgG is produced
less
protein
inactivated vaccines are NOT affected by circulating antibody to the antigen. But, live vaccine _____ be affected, they must be able to replicate
may
Must wait 2 weeks before giving the antibody after a live vaccine
