Module 10
Active immunization - ANS-patient mounts an adaptive immune response after antigens
are administered (form a memory)
attenuated vaccine - ANS-vaccine composed of a weakened form of the pathogen that
is generally unable to cause disease
-can result in mild infections or mutation to infectious form
-contact immunity
passive immunotherapy - ANS-a patient acquires temporary immunity through the
transfer of antibodies formed by other individuals or animals (no memory)
contact immunity - ANS-The property of some vaccines, where a vaccinated individual
can confer immunity upon unimmunized individuals through contact with bodily fluids or
excrement
-attenuated
toxoid vaccines - ANS-chemically or thermally modified toxins used to stimulate active
immunity
-antibody mediated immune response
-need more than one dose bc not a lot of memory to it
inactivated (killed) vaccines - ANS-safer, no risk for infection/mutation
-good for immunocomprimised
-boosters required for full immunity
-2 types: whole agent and subunit vaccines
whole agent vaccine - ANS-A vaccine containing whole bacterial cells, viruses, or
toxins.
-inactivated
subunit vaccines - ANS-use antigenic fragments to stimulate an immune response
-inactivated
-need more than one dose for full immunity
-contains adjuvants
adjuvants - ANS-chemicals added to increase effective antigenicity
