Q

Describe the functional relationship of M cells and Peyer’s Patches

Vaccine Date(s)? Type?

A

11-12 years
(3 dose series)
Subunit Vaccine

27
Q

Children
Meningococcus
Vaccine Date(s)?

A

16-17 years

28
Q

Varicella vaccine prevents

A

Chicken Pox

29
Q

DTaP vaccine presents

A

Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus

30
Q

Hib Vaccine prevents

A

Hemophilus influenzae type b

31
Q

MMR vaccin prevents

A

Measles, Mumps, Rubella

32
Q

IPV vaccine prevents

A

Polio

33
Q

RV vaccine prevents against

A

Rotavirus

34
Q

______ Polio virus is no longer recommended for routine immunization in the US

A

Oral

35
Q

Who gets pneumovax?

A

Old people and high risk patients (sickle cell, HIV, IC, asthma, smokers)

36
Q

Two examples of a toxoid vaccine?

A

Diptheria

Tetanus

37
Q

Types of vaccine in DTaP?

A

Diptheria – Toxoid
Tetanus – Toxoid
Pertussis – Killed Bacteria (toxoid+other antigens)

38
Q

What vaccines do you avoid giving to a pregnant or IC person? Why?

A

MMR, Polio, Varicella

Live attenuated viruses may be able to take hold in an immunocompromised patient

39
Q

What is unique about the live-attenuated vaccine against salmonella typhi?

A

Mutagenesis and selection for loss of the LPS necessary for pathogenesis

40
Q

Why use a conjugate vaccine?

A

Polysaccharides cannot activate T cells
Only proteins for MHC presentation
No Ts = No high affinity B action

41
Q

What happens when a conjugate vaccine is utilized?

A

B cells take sin polysaccharide with attached toxoid
Peptides from toxoid are presented to T cell
T activates B
B differentiates into a plasma cell that makes tons of anti-polysacch.

42
Q

Two typical components of a Vaccine

A

Antigen and Adjuvant

43
Q

Two functions of adjuvants?

A
Activate cells (APC, B, T, tissue cells)
Sustained release of antigens (alum or oil)
44
Q

How do alum/oil lead to the sustained release of antigens?

A

Enhance antigen uptake by the APC

Slow release is beneficial

45
Q

benefits of using vaccines with adjuvants?

A

Less active component required
Less repeat vaccinations
Help weak immune systems (old and young)

46
Q

Most prevalent Adjuvant

A

Alum

47
Q

With multiple immunizations, Ig___ will increase response/affinity. Ig __ will stay the same.

A

IgG goes up

IgM does not

48
Q

Antibodies produced in an unimmunized primary reaction? Immunized donor secondary response?

A

1 – Ig GAME

2 – Ig GAE

49
Q

Risk of vaccination?

A

Live attenuated viruses can revert to become pathogenic

Don’t give these vaccines to immunocompromised people
