A live, but weakened vaccine
Attenuated
Which patients are attenuated vaccines NOT approved for?
Immunocompromised
Which type of virus is MMR?
Attenuated
Which type of vaccine is oral influenza (LAIV)?
Attenuated
Vaccine consisting of whole, killed microbes? What are they killed by?
Inactivated whole agent vaccines ;
killed by phenol, formalin
Which type of vaccine is IPV ? What does IPV stand for?
Inactivated whole agent vaccines ;
Polio vaccine
what type of vaccine is TIV? What does TIV stand for?
Inactivated whole agent ;
trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine
Vaccine made of inactivated toxins
Toxoid or Antigen vaccine
Does the toxoid vaccine provide life-long immunity?
NO (toxoid)
Does the MMR vaccine provide life-long immunity?
YES (attenuated)
What type of a vaccine uses live, avirulent, or attenuated viruses as vectors for expression of protective antigens from a pathogen in a host

Give an example

What is an advantage of this type of vaccine?
Live vectored vaccines

Using Avipoxvirus to carry gene for rabies virus

Given in humans, it will not replicate.
What is important to know about toxoid vaccines?
No life-long immunity, need boosters.
What is the name of the vaccine containing diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis? what is the name of the booster?
DTaP

Tdap
Vaccines produced through biotechnology using recombinant DNA?
Synthetic aka Subunit vaccines
What is an adjuvant?
A substance that is added to the vaccine to increase immunity (be supplying the secondary signal)
What is the "central dogma" of subunit vaccines?
Recombinant DNA--> mRNA --> protein
In a subunit vaccine, what acts as the 1st signal? What acts as the 2nd?
1st= protein
2nd= adjuvant
What is a major advantage of subunit vaccines?
Cannot reproduce in the host, therefore, much safer and less adverse efffects/
What type of vaccine is DTaP? Is it recombinant or conventional?
D, T are toxoids
P is an acellular toxoid

Conventional (of the 2nd generation, meaning the protective components are cleaner, more specific and the contaminating proteins have been removed)
What type of vaccine is HepB?
Subunit (recombinant DNA used to express HBsAG in yeast)
Why use conjugate vaccine?
For <2 yoa, who do not develop an adequate immune response to T-independent vaccines

Simpler put- for immature immune systems
What kind of vaccine uses polysaccharide antigen + protein to stimulate T-dependent immune responses
Conjugate vaccine
What are the two components that a conjugate vaccine uses? What does this do?
bacterial Polysaccharide antigen+ carrier protein

produces the immune response by aide of the T-cells
What does Hib stand for? What kind of vaccine is it?
Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine.

Conjugate
What does PCV stand for? What type of vaccine is it?
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Conjugate
vaccine in which new, naked DNA IM via syringe
DNA aka Nucleic Acid vaccines
What is a "gene gun"
Syringe which injects naked DNA IM as vaccine
What type of immunity do nucleic acid vaccines stimulate?
Humoral and cell-mediated
Which type of vaccine is currently "Not reduced to practice?"
Nucleic acid (DNA) vaccine (not yet FDA approved, only in trial)
What are the advantages of nucleic acid vaccines?
They are expressed in the host for prolonged periods

safe, but immunogenic

Don't require refrigerator or needles (good for developmental countries)
Which disease has been fully eradicated due to vaccine? which one has almost been eradicated?
Smallpox

Polio (paralytic)
What does the ACIP stand for?
Advisory Committee on immunization practices
What sparked the decline in R&D for vaccines? What is an exception to this?
antibiotic research

H1N1 - got a lot of publicity and payment
What act limits manufacturer liability on vaccines?
National Childhood vaccine Injury Act of 1986
First exposure to an antigen ellicits the production of______________.

Second exposure of an antigen elicits the production of ______________ through activation of the _______ cells
First exposure= Memory cells (can be B or T)

Second= Effector (CTLs) cells through activation of the memory cells
Give an example of a cancer vaccine and what it contains
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)

contains Recombinant DNA with sequences encoding CEA antigen and 3 co-stimulatory molecules
Explain the depot effect
A slow antigen release and prolonged antigen presentation
