CP quiz Flashcards
What are the core vaccines for cats?
- FPV
- FHV-1
- FCV
- Rabies
What are the 4 noncore vaccines for cats
- FIV
- FeLV
- Chlamydophila felis
- Bordetella bronchiseptica
What are the two types of immunity?
- innate (natural) immunity
2. adaptive (acquired) immunity
What are the primary feline immunoglobulins that plasma cells produce?
IgG
IgM
IgA
IgE
What is the most effective and abundant antibody class on mucosal surfaces of cats?
IgA
systemic infections are controlled or prevented primarily by — and —-
IgG
circulating effector T cells
What is it called when vaccination prevents subsequent infection?
sterilizing immunity
The presence of — against an infectious agent indicates that the cat has the immunologic memory required for a rapid anamnestic immune response if the cat is subsequently exposed
serum antibodies
How can we predict resistance for FPV?
- viral neutralization
- hemagglutination inhibition
- ELISA
- serum antibody titers
How come serum antibody titers are not as helpful in FHV-1 and FCV?
vaccination lessens the severity of clinical disease, rather than preventing infection
What should be done if previous vaccine history is unknown?
Core vaccines should be given
Positive results of an ELISA mean that the antibodies of a virus have been neutralized
FALSE
-they do not necessarily indicate that the antibodies neutralize the virus
When should antibody titers be collected to measure antibodies in a 16 week old kitten?
First sample on the day of vaccination and the second sample should be collected 2 or more weeks later
**increase= immune response
What are modified live agent vaccines?
avirulent or attenuated organisms that infect the host
What are 3 categories of recombinant vaccines?
- subunit vaccines
- gene-deleted vaccines
- live virus-vectored vaccines
True or False: None of the virus-vectored vaccines currently licensed for cats by the USDA are adjuvanted.
TRUE
Which adjuvanted virus vaccines have been associated with local inflammatory reactions at injection sites?
- Rabies
2. FeLV
What do we see with the immunity induced by killed vaccines?
- little or no IgA antibody on mucosal surfaces
- cell-mediated immunity is limited to Type 1 T-helper cell immunity
Does not provide complete IgA or CMI protection
Which vaccines have an IN formulation available for them? (5)
- Bordetella bronchiseptica
- FCV
- FHV-1
- FPV
- FIP
