Cards

Term
Describe Active Natural Immunization
Definition
exposure to a subclinical infection
Term
Describe Active artificial immunization
Definition

-Attenuated organisms

-killed organisms

-sub cellular fragments

-toxins

-others

Term
Define molecular mimicry
Definition
mimics another molecule and creates a loss of tolerance
Term
Define Central Tendency
Definition
T cells are eliminated as they go through the thymus and B cells are deleted in bone marrow
Term
Define peripheral tolerance
Definition
T cells and B cells lack ability to respond bc of absence of signals to activate them
Term
Define Autoimmunity
Definition
an immune response, responding to something inappropriate to respond to.
Term
List steps of group "A" strep M type (GAS)
Definition

-Antimicrobial therapy to eliminate potential of rheumatic fever

-make Ab againist M protein

-Ab binding sites recognizes epitope on M protein which is defined by both the linear sequence(primary) and 2ndary seq (alpha helix)

Term
Human myosin has similar structure to the M protein molecule, resulting in capacity of the Abs ...
Definition
against the M protein to bind to human myosin
Term
The Ab raised against the M protein is _____ _______ and mimics another molecule ________ ________
Definition
cross reactive, human myosin
Term
3000 BC
Definition
Egypt sniffing small pox powder
Term
2000 BC
Definition
China sniffing small pox powder
Term
1700 AD
Definition
Intro of variolation in England
Term
1500 BC
Definition
Turks Intro of variolation (scraping of skin)
Term
1885
Definition
Rabies vaccine
Term
1920
Definition
Diptheria and tetanus
Term
1934
Definition
Pertussis
Term
1955
Definition
salk polio
Term
1960s
Definition
MMR and Sabin polio
Term
1985
Definition
Haemophilus
Term
1990s
Definition
Hepatitis and varicella
Term
What causes small pox?
Definition
Variola virus
Term
How does small pox enter the body?
Definition
lungs > blood
Term
What's the 1st vaccine used and discontinued?
Definition
small pox
Term
Describe how memory B cells and T cells provide immunity
Definition

-They circulate through body monitoring for antigens

-they activate immune response immediately

-Produce Abs quickly

-Prevent disease from occurring by killed Ag

Term
Describe Live attenuated vaccines (living)
Definition

-Made from virus or bacteria

-Must replicate to work but at a slower rate

-Replication mimics natural infection which stimulates an immune response

Term
Describe Inactivated vaccines (fractionated)H1N1
Definition

-Made from virus or bacteria

-Have various fractions: subvirons, subunits, polysaccharides, toxoids, recombiant Ags

-Do NOT replicate because they are dead

-Ag load stimulates immune response

Term
Recombinant agents...
Definition
Cloning Ag for vaccine production
Term
Define Toxoids
Definition
Take a toxin and chemically alter it to elicit an immune response without activity
Term
With vaccines, molecular mimicry ...
Definition
is still a possibility
Term
Describe Polysaccharide VAccines (5)
Definition

-Stimulate T cell independent immunity (Not Needed)

-Stimulate B cells w/o T cells

-Immunity is short lived

-No booster effect

-Not consistently immunogenic in children < 2 y/o

Term
Describe Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (5)
Definition

-Stimulate T cell (dependent) NEED them

-T cells involved

-Produce immunological memory

-Results in booster effect upon subsequent exposure

-Increased immunogenicity in children < 2 y/o

Term
List Live vaccines
Definition

-Herpes zoster

-Live attenuated influenza

-MMR

-Oral typhoid capsules

-Rotavirus

-VAricella

-Yellow fever

Term
List Inactivated vaccines
Definition

-Diptheria, tetanus, pertussis

-Haemophilus influenza type b

-Hep A

-HEp B

-HPV

-IPV Inactivated poliovirus

-Meningococcal

-Pneumococcal

-Rabies

-Trivalent inactivated influenza

-Typhoid Vi injection

Term
People with immunodeficiencies have an _________ chance of developing cancer
Definition
increased
Term
Define cancer
Definition
cells that mutate and bc of their alteration they keep our immune system in constant surveillance to recognize and kill them
Term
Define reduced immunogenecity
Definition

There is something altered on the cancer that has minimized the ability to be immunogenic.

-down regulation of cell surface proteins

Term
If someone had A.I. disease how would getting a transplant relate to a diabetic patient? What about a patient with lupus?
Definition

Diabetes-most transplants work

Lupus- wouldn't exclude someone from getting a transplant

Term
What are some reasons why there is a lack of response from a vaccine?
Definition

-genetic profile

-requirement of Ag presenting cells

-activation of different T cells (CD8 or CD 4)

-ability to take Ag processed and for it to be recognized in its native form by Ab

-No MHC recognition

-Nutritional status

-Down regulation of immune system -

Genetic Mutations
