| | | | | | | | |

| |
-distinguish between self and foreign invaders
| | | | |
-promote mutualistic microorganism interactions
| | |
-distinguish between foreign pathogens
| | |
fluMIST - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-attentuated virus
| | | |
-not good for immunocompromised people
| | | |
intramuscular influenza vaccination - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-inactivated virus
| | | | | |
Dr. Ron Fouchier - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-used ferrets as model to test
| | | | | | | | | | |
mechanisms regulating infectivity/pathogenicity - how to build a better influenza
| | | | | | | | | |
-restricted from publish - bioterrorism
| | | |
Hemagglutinin - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-One of the enzymes found on the surface
| | | | | | | | | |
of the Influenza virus; allows virus to fuse into the cell it is infecting
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
,Neuraminidase - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-One of the enzymes found on the | | | | | | | | | |
surface of the Influenza virus; allows virus to exit infected cell which promotes
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
the release of progeny viruses from infected cells (infectivity)
| | | | | | | |
Thucydides - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-430 BC noted that those who had recovered
| | | | | | | | | | |
from plague could nurse the sick without repeat contraction of disease; first to
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
come up with idea of immunis, meaning exempt
| | | | | | |
variolation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-an early method of vaccination using infected
| | | | | | | | |
material from a patient
| | | |
-15th century Turks and Chinese took dried crusts from smallpox pustules and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
inhaled/inserted into cuts of skin | | | |
Ed Jenner - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1798 - noted that milk maids who developed
| | | | | | | | | | | |
cowpox (milder disease) were immune to smallpox
| | | | | |
-inoculated 8 y/o with cowpox and infected with smallpox
| | | | | | | |
Pustules - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-contain puss, immune cell, and attenuated virus
| | | | | | | | |
-- resembles virus
| | |
Smallpox - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A highly contagious viral disease characterized
| | | | | | | | |
by fluid filled blisters on skin, scarring, blindness, and limb deformities
| | | | | | | | | |
-humans are the reservoir for the virus (unique to humans)
| | | | | | | | |
-completely eradicated (vaccination is stronger than virus encountered in nature)
| | | | | | | | |
-Variola major (30% death) or Variola minor (1%)
| | | | | | |
, attenuated vaccine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-vaccine composed of a weakened
| | | | | | | | |
form of the pathogen that is generally unable to cause disease
| | | | | | | | | |
-Louis Pasteur |
mumps - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-contagious viral disease that leads to painful
| | | | | | | | | |
swelling of the salivary glands
| | | | |
-most common in age 2-12 if not vaccinated
| | | | | | | |
-12-24 day incubation period
| | |
MMR vaccine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-protects against measles, mumps, and
| | | | | | | | |
rubella; should be given to children 12-15 m/o and again between age 4-6 or 11-
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
12 if not former
| | |
herd immunity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-works by decreasing the number of
| | | | | | | | | |
individuals who can harbor and spread an infectious agent; significantly
| | | | | | | | | |
decreasing the chances that susceptible individuals will become infected
| | | | | | | |
George Snell |
Jean Dausset
|
Baruj Benacerraf - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-researched MHC
| | | | |
Susumu Tonegawa - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-researched gene rearrangement in
| | | | | | | |
antibody production |
