ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY Flashcards
(147 cards)
Type of immunity that is acquired and specific
Adaptive immunity
Immunization with a specific antigen by natural exposure to infection or administration of a vaccine
Active
Infusion of serum or plasma containing high concentration of antibody or lymphocytes from an actively immunized individual
Passive
Results from the transfer of cells if the immune system usually lymphocytes from an immunized host to a nonimmune individual
Adoptive immunity
Includes the type of immunity that develops during convalescence from an infection
Naturally acquired (Active)
Develops after placental passage of antibody from mother to fetus
Naturally acquired (passive)
Immunity obtained from vaccination
Artificially acquired (active)
Immunity obtained after injection of gamma globulin for the induction of an immune state
Artificially acquired (passive)
Type of vaccine based on cross reactivity / weakened organism
Attenuated vaccine
Type of vaccine consist of intact, killed viruses or bacteria
Inactivated vaccine
Type of vaccine containing a portion of the bacteria of virus
Subunit vaccine
A subunit vaccine made using inactivated toxins produced by bacteria
Toxoid vaccine
A subunit vaccine produced chemically attaching a polysaccharide from the surface of bacteria to a protein molecule through conjugation
Polysaccharide vaccine
A subunit vaccine composed of proteins from a pathogen
Purified protein vaccines
Oral polio vaccine
Sabin
Injection polio vaccine
Salk
Substance administered with an immunogenicity that increases the immune response to provide immunity to a particular disease
Adjuvants
It stimulates phagocytes, B cells, and T cells
Adjuvants
Types of adjuvants
Aluminum salts
Oil in water emulsion
Microparticles
Most common adjuvant ; preferentially stimulate Th2 response
Aluminum salts
Stimulate the immune response by inducing release of chemokines and enhancing antigen uptake and migration of acute phase reactants
Oil in water emulsion
Capable of fusing with APCs to facilitate antigen presentation
Microparticles
Indirect protection from an infectious disease that happens when a POPULATION IS IMMUNE either through vaccination or immunity developed through previous infection
HERD IMMUNITY
Primary lymphoid organs
Bone marrow and thymus
