An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil and lanolin, and used as an immunopotentiator (booster of the immune System), and consists of a complete form and an incomplete form.
Freund's Adjuvant
What consititutes Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)
Mineral Oil
Lanolin
Inactivated and dried mycobacteria (usu. mycobacterium tuberculosis)
What is used to elicit stronger T- and B- cell mediated responses when antigens alone do not evoke sufficient immunogenic responses
Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant
What are the roles of an Adjuvant?
Enhance Antibody response
Enhance Uptake of antigen by antigen presenting cells
Slow down absorption and increase uptake of a vaccine
The use of _____ eliminates the need for repeated booster doses of the antigen and permits the use of smaller doses of the antigen in the vaccine.
Adjuvants
A bacterial toxin whose toxicity has been weakened or destroyed by either chemical (formaldehyde) or heat treatment. Although they have lost their toxic properties they still retain their ______, thus are able to produce antitoxin antibodies
Toxoid
Immunogenicity
What are toxoid usually administered with?
What diseases are they useful against?
Adjuvant
Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, ect.
An antibody formed in response to a specific toxin.
Antitoxin
A serum containing _____ can be used for either treatment or prevention of certain bacterial diseases.
Antitoxin
What does an antitoxin do to prevent disease?
Neutralizes unbound toxins
What are the disadvantages of using toxoid vaccines?
Even with an adjuvant added these vaccines do not produce a full immune response, and booster shots are needed for immunity
Antibodies used in passive immunization
Immune globulins
What are used to induce active immunization?
Toxoids
What kind of immunity occurs naturally and artificially?
Passive or Active Acquired immunity
Human HBIG (human serum containing a high titer of antibiotics against HBV) to prevent hep B in those not actively immunized with Hep B vaccine is an example of what?
Artificially acquired passive immunity
Immunity when a person is exposed to an antigen and the body produces antibodies. Ex: recovery from in infection with mumps virus confers lifelong immunity.
Naturally acquired active immunity
Immunity when anti bodies (IgG) are passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy and IgA passed from mother to newborn during breast feeding.
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Immunity from a vaccination with killed, inactivated, or attenuated bacteria or toxoid
Artificially acquired active immunity
Immunity from injection of immune serum or gamma-globulin
Artificially acquired passive immunity
What is the purpose of Artificially acquired active immunity
Elicit an immune response before the onset of disease symptomatology. Effectiveness is dependent on slow onset of pathogen and vaccines speed to produce antibodies
What are the diseases that are prevented with an inactivated virus vaccine?
Influenza
Rabies
Hep A
Polio (salk) - Injection
What are the diseases that are prevented with an attenuated live virus vaccine?
Smallpox
Yellow Fever
Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Polio (sabin) - oral
Varicella (chickenpox)
What are the diseases that are prevented by a purified HBsAg:Recombinant HBsAg vaccine?
Hep B
What is an attenuated live virus?
One that exhibits decreased virulence
What are the more potent vaccines?
Attenuated / Inactivated virus
Why?
Attenuated Live Virus
Elicit all the innate and adaptive immune responses that the live viruses would.
Vaccines that contain polysaccharide capsular material from the bacteria, usually conjugated to protein for greater immunogenicity
Capsular polysaccharide vaccines
What are the capsular polysaccharide vaccines?
Strep. pneumonia vaccine (pneumonia)
Neisseria meningitides vaccine (meningitis)
Haemophilus influenzae vaccine (meningitis)
What are the toxoid vaccines?
Corynebacterium diphtheriae vaccine (diphtheria)
Clostridium tetani vaccine (tetany)
What are the killed bacterial viruses?
Bordetella pertussis vaccine (whopping cough)
Salmonella typhi vaccine (typhoid fever)
Vibrio cholerae vaccine (cholera)
What are the live attenuated bacterial vaccines?
Mycobacterium bovis vaccine (TB)
Francisella tularensis vaccine (tularemia)
Coxiella burnetti vaccine (Q fever)
What is required from passive immunity to provide long term protection.
Immune globulins for immediate protection
Vaccine for long term protection
