N-10B Quiz002 Immunizations & Vaccinations

Front 1

Background Information on Immunity

1. Def: the ??? that an individual has against disease

2. Specific immunity to particular organisms (two ways):
a. active: ?? ?? appropriate antibodies (AB's) or
b. passive: ??? ready-made AB's from another source

3. Immunizations:
a. natural: not acquired through previous contact with
infectious agent (ie obtained via ???? ???? milk)
b. acquired: develops in RT contact with ??? agent

4. Acquired immunity: can be ??? or ???

Background Information on Immunity

1. Def: the resistance that an individual has against disease

2. Specific immunity to particular organisms (two ways):
a. active: made own appropriate antibodies (AB's) or
b. passive: received ready-made AB's from another source

3. Immunizations:
a. natural: not acquired through previous contact with
infectious agent (ie obtained via mother’s breast milk)
b. acquired: develops in RT contact with infectious agent

4. Acquired immunity: can be passive or active

Front 2

Background Information on Immunity

Acquired immunity: can be passive or active

Passive immunity:
a. state of relative ???? protection produced by
injection of serum containing antibodies formed in
another host (???)


6. Active immunity:
a. immuniz produced by natural or acquired stimulation
body produces own ???
b. can result from:
1) clinical/subclinical ??? (pt gets disease)
2) by ???? with live/killed agents (ie attentuated
vaccines are antigenic preps containing weakened
microbes; polio (IPV)
3) innactivated vaccines/toxoids
c. organisms treated (heat/chemical) to destroy harmful
properties without destroying ability to stimulate antibody
protection (ie pertussis; typhoid)
d. examples: rubella, tetanus, & influenza
e. vaccines also available for cholera, plague, rabies, typhoid,
typhus, yellow fever, etc.
