Two types of immune system |
Innate and adaptive |
|
|
Antigen |
Foreign substance in the body |
|
|
Antibody |
Disease fighting protein produced by the body for the specific antigen |
|
|
Immunity |
Resistance to a SPECIFIC disease through production of antibodies |
|
|
Types of immunity (4) |
Natural passive Natural active Artificial passive Artificial active |
|
|
Natural Passive Immunity |
Via colostrum |
|
|
Natural Active Immunity |
Exposure to pathogens increase immune response |
|
|
Artificial Passive Immunity |
Artificially transferred via injection with immunoglobulins from other individuals. - short acting for temporary relief |
|
|
Artificial Active Immunity |
Administering live or dead pathogens.
- MLV vaccines |
|
|
Vaccination |
Administration of antigen to stimulate an immune response Vaccination = immunisation |
|
|
Colostrum prevents |
Vaccines from working. IgM needs to be low before vaccines can work |
|
|
Types of Vaccines (5) |
Modified Live Inactivated Toxoid antitoxin Recombinant Killed |
|
|
MLV modified live virus |
Attenuated = weakened or reduced in intensity |
|
|
Inactivated = killed |
Disabled the replicating abilities |
|
|
Toxoid |
Combat a toxin produced by an invading virus or bacteria |
|
|
Antitoxin |
An antibody with the ability to neutralise a specific toxin |
|
|
Recombinant |
Genes for desired antigen inserted |
|
|
Killed vaccine |
Bacterin |
|
|
Vaccines are designed to what |
Stimulate the immune system |
|
|
What is least likely to cause vaccine failure |
Administration during anesthesia |
