Chapter 17 Applications Of Immune Response Flashcards
(96 cards)
Immunity that results from an immune response upon exposure to an antigen
Active immunity
A preparation of a serum that contains protective antibodies
Antiserum
Vaccine that is composed of a weakened form of a pathogen that is generally unable to cause disease
Attenuated Vaccine
Technique that uses enzyme-labeled antibodies to detect given antigens or antibodies
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
Technique that uses fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect specific antigens on cells attached to a microscope slide.
Fluorescent Antibody Test
Protection of an entire population based upon a critical concentration of immune hosts that prevents the spread of an infectious agent
Herd immunity
Test that takes advantage of the specificity of antigen-antibody interactions by using known antibodies or antigens to detect or quantify given antigens or antibodies
Immunoassay
Medical intervention that Modifies specific immune response as a means to treat certain diseases
Immunotherapy
Vaccine composed of killed bacterial cells, inactivated viral particles, fractions of pathogens, or inactivated toxins
Inactivated Vaccine
Immunity that results when antibodies are transferred into an individual
Passive Immunity
Preparation of a pathogen or its products used to induce active immunity
Vaccine
Procedure that uses labeled antibodies to detect specific antigens in a mixture of proteins seperated according to their molecular weight
Western Blotting
Procedure to induce immunity
Immunization
Immunity acquired through vaccination or immune globulins
Artifical immunity
Ig__ is passes through the placenta
Ig__ is passed through breastfeeding
IgG placenta
IgA breastfeeding
Give examples of Natural Passive Immunity
IgG from the placenta
IgA from breastfeeding
Does passive immunity build memory cells
No
This type of immunity is from receiving a vaccine
Artificial Active Immunity
This type of immunity comes from having antibodies directly injected into a person
Artificial Passive Immunity
What is the fluid portion of blood that remains after blood clots called?
Serum
Preparation of a serum that contains protective antibodies
Antiserum
Antiserums give which type of immunity
Artificial passive
Immunoglobulin prepared from a sera of donors with a large amount of antibodies to a certain disease, tetanus.
Used to prevent disease by giving immediately after possible exposure
Hyperimmune globulin
Immunoglobulin G portion of pooled plasma from many donors, contains a wide variety of antibodies, used to provide passive immunity
Intervenous IV Immune globulins
