Quiz 4 Flashcards
(40 cards)
Immunity you develop after being exposed to an infection from sickness or a vaccine
Active immunity
Immunity you develop through antibodies transferred from mom to baby (birth, breastmilk)
Passive immunity
Any substance that prepares the immune system to recognize/respond to a pathogen resulting in immunity/protection
Vaccine
A type of vaccine that contains weakened or inactivated whole antigens
Whole Agent Vaccines
A type of vaccine that contains only a part of the antigen
Fragment Vaccinations
Type of vaccine that contains RNA to make virus proteins
mRNA/ Viral Vector Vaccines
Type of vaccine that contains weakened microbes
Live, attenuated vaccines
Examples of live, attenuated vaccines
MMR, varicella, rotavirus, intranasal influenza
Type of vaccine that contains dead pathogens
Inactivated vaccines
Examples of inactivated vaccines
Polio, Hep. A, cholera, typhoid, plague
Type of vaccine that contains inactivated toxins
Toxoid vaccines
Examples of toxoid vaccines
DTaP, Botulism
Type of vaccine that contains a part of the antigen that induces a strong immune response
Subunit vaccines
Examples of subunit vaccines
Meningitis, Pneumonia, Hep. B
Type of vaccine that contains weak antigens (glycocalyx) attached to strong antigens like tetanus toxin or diphtheria toxin
Conjugative vaccines
Examples of a conjugative vaccine
Hib (Haemophilus Influenza)
Type of vaccine that codes for the virus spike protein (in a lipid coating)
mRNA vaccine
Examples or mRNA vaccines
Covid
Type of vaccines that use a harmless virus to attach genetic material to cells
viral vector vaccines
Examples of artificially acquired passive immunity
transfer of antibody-rich serum
Examples of viral vector vaccines
measles virus, and adenovirus
Goal of herd immunity
enough people being vaccinated that the likelihood of an infected individual coming in contact with a susceptible individual is low
Indicators of disease someone else can measure
signs (fever, vomiting)
Indicators of disease that other people can’t see/measure
symptoms ( headache, nausea, fatigue)
