Q

Polysaccharide vaccines do not induce long-lasting immunity because:

A

A.T cells only recognize peptide-MHC complexes.
When you conjugate pollysach to protein, allows for T cell help in immune response. To develop memory B cells

Q

HIV diagnosis can be done within minutes by a rapid HIV antibody test. Why then is HIV diagnosis in infants in Africa such a problem?

A

A.HIV infection cannot be diagnosed in infants with an antibody test.
Too low specificity in case of infants, not sensitvity

Q

Timing of Vaccination: Considerations

A
  1. Maternal Antibodies
  2. Maturity of immune system
  3. Risk of exposure to disease

A.Age at Administration
B.Spacing between doses
1.3 weeks minimum between primary doses
2.4 months minimum between primary and boosting
3.No maximum interval in terms of immune response

A.Coadministration of multiple vaccines
•Live vaccines should be given either simultaneously or > 1 month apart
•No interference with inactivated vaccines

Q

Herd Immunity
R0
what number do you need to be aboe to stop transmission?
give example disucssed in class

A

—Reduction of disease in an unimmunized segment of a population in which a large proportion has been immunized
If ¾ people immune, hen only transite ot 1 need to be above the R0-1/R0. need to be ABOVE number
pneumonia herd immunity

Q

Polio outbreaks continued in Northern India with >90% of the population immune to polio, but stopped in the United States with a much lower proportion of immune individuals. Why?

A

A.The R0 for polio is lower in the United States.

17
Q
