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
|
