Q

This type of vaccine is made with dead virus. It ___ (will/will not) replicate or cause disease.

A

Killed virus

It will NOT cause disease

159
Q

This type of vaccine uses a virus that can replicate in the host. It induces ___ cells and ___ to stimulate immunity.

A

Live attenuated vaccine

It induces Tc cells and antibodies

160
Q

This type of vaccination is not safe for immunosuppressed people.

A

Live attenuated vaccine

161
Q

What is done to live, attenuated vaccinations to make them safer to inject?

A

The virulence is eliminated or reduced in a lab.

162
Q

True/False: Inactivated virus or bacterium vaccinations cannot replicate in a host

A

True. Inactivated virus or bacterium vaccinations cannot replicate in hosts.

163
Q

Rabies and injectable influenza immunizations are examples of what kind of vaccination?

A

Inactivated virus or bacterium

164
Q

What is done to pathogens to make an inactivated virus/bacterium vaccination?

A

Heat-killed/cooked

165
Q

This type of vaccine is a safe method that generates antibodies, by only using parts of a pathogen

A

Subunit vaccine

166
Q

Pertussis (acellular) and Pnumococcal pneumonia (capsule) are examples of what kind of vaccination?

A

Subunit vaccine

167
Q

This vaccine is made with inactivated toxin molecules, and is a safe method of generating neutralizing antibodies

A

Toxoid vaccine

168
Q

Diptheria and tetanus are examples of this type of vaccine.

A

Toxoid vaccine

169
Q

This vaccine is made by taking a gene for the spiked protein surface, insert it into a plasmid, and this leads to immunity without having to give any live or killed virus

A

Recombinant vaccine

170
Q

This vaccine is controversial and under development, but is made by using genes to code for some part of the organism, and injecting plasmid into the subject to create immunity (only used for WNV in horses)

A

DNA vaccine

171
Q

___ are IgE (antibody) response to harmless antigens

A

Allergies

172
Q

Type I Hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) involves ___ ___, with a reaction occuring within 30 minutes

A

Immediate hypersensitivity

173
Q

Type 1 Hypersensitivity symptoms depend on these two factors.

A

Where allergen enters and how severe the immune response is

174
Q

When allergens enter the body on first exposure, what is triggered?

A

Stimulates B cells to make IgE antibodies, which bind to mast cells

175
Q

What happens on subsequent exposures to the allergen?

A

Allergen comes in body and binds to antibody binding sites on mast cells, which release histamine, leading to symptoms.

176
Q

This is when inflammation occurs throughout circulation, potentially leading to death

A

Systemic anaphylaxis

177
Q

True/False: Anaphylaxis reactions will occur in the same body systems and reactions in all allergic people

A

False. Anaphylaxis reactions vary by person.

178
Q

How do steroids work in regards to controlling allergy symptoms?

A

Steroids suppress the immune response

179
Q

How do allergy shots work in regards to controlling allergy symptoms?

A

The custom generated vaccinations induce IgG formation, which then binds all the allergen so it can’t reach the IgE on mast cells.

180
Q

In a Type II hypersensitivity (cytotoxic), IgG/IgM antibodies bind RBC antigens. This activates complement, causing what action?

A

It lyses RBC. ADCC - macrophages or NK cells bind the antibody-coated RBC, killing them!

181
Q

This kind of hypersensitivity is related to medication allergies, mismatched blood reactions, rheumatic fever, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

A

Type II (cytotoxic) hypersensitivity

182
Q

What happens when a person has autoimmune hemolytic anemia?

A

The body attacks its own RBCs.

183
Q

This type of hypersensitivity occurs when the immune system successfully releases antibodies to attack the antigens, but then the individual macrophages or neutrophils cannot consume the clumps up as they should, and the infection cannot be cleared.

A

Type III immune complex hypersensitivity

184
Q

Lyme arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis, and rheumatoid arthritis are examples of this kind of hypersensitivity response.

A

Type III Immune Complex Disease

185
Q

In contact dermatitis, exposure to an antigen stimulates ___, which activates ___, which activates ___, and causes an inflammatory response.

A

Stimulates dendritic cells,
Activates Memory T-helper cells,
Activates macrophages

186
Q

This is an immune response to a pathogen antigen generates antibodies and T cells that also bind self antigens (such as with the Coxsacie virus leading to insulin dependence)

A

Molecular mimicry

187
Q

What disorder did David the Bubble Boy have?

A

SCID (Severe combined immunodeficiency disease)

188
Q

What is SCID? What does it mean?

A

SCID (Severe combined immunodeficiency disease)

No T or B cells
