Vaccines Flashcards
What are the 3 types of whole organism vaccines?
Live related, attenuated, and killed organism
What are the 3 types of subunit vaccines?
Isolated protein, viral vector, conjugated polysaccharide/protein
What are 2 examples of a live related vaccine?
Leishmania, Poxviruses
What are 2 examples of live attenuated vaccines?
MMR (malaria), varicella
What is a negative to live related vaccines?
There is a lack of availability of non-pathogenic relatives to common pathogens
Which type of viruses are most risky to use?
Live attenuated and live related, because they are live strains and could kill an immunosuppressed person
Which vaccines are persistent?
Live related, live attenuated, viral vector
What is an example of a killed organism vaccine?
Salk (polio), and H1N1
What kinds of vaccines are non-persistent?
Killed organism, pure protein
What are some examples of pure protein vaccines?
Tetanus, HPV,
What are some examples of viral vector vaccines?
Ebola vaccines
Which type of vaccine requires B cells ?
Conjugated polysaccharide/protein because it is a vaccine for bacteria
What are some examples of conjugated polysacc/protein vaccines?
Pneumococcal and diptheria, Hib and diptheria
What is the issue with the rotavirus vaccine?
It is an oral live attenuated and mostly kids get rotavirus so the kids could be undiagnosed immunosuppressed
What is an adjuvent?
Something that encourages an immune response (inflammatory usually), commonly oils are used
What is the purpose of passive immunization?
To give inject someone with the antibodies because usually, they have already contracted the disease/virus and will die before they can produce the response on their own (bites, toxins, etc)
What is the MMR vaccine for?
