What does a vaccine contain?
treated
What type of vaccine involves host synthesis of viral antigens?
A nucleic acid vaccine
What has to be true for the successful development of a vaccine to be used against a pathogen?
It is necessary that the surface antigens of the pathogen remain unchanged
What is the differences between vaccine and injections?
Injections are given for treatment while vaccines are given to produce antbodies to protect the recipients from specific diseases
What kind of oxygen does type O have?
All blood types have the same oxygen in them. The only differences between them are the types of antigens on the membranes that help to detect foreign blood.
What does a vaccine contain that allows the body to do this?
The theory behind the vaccine is that it is made up of weakened viruses but that form antibodies, which in turn build up the immune system that will fight the introduction of any pathogen the vaccine is intended to prevent.
How long to wait between flu vaccine and shingles vaccine?
interval- flu vaccine and the shingles vaccine
What is the difference between antibodies and antitoxins?
Antibodies attach to antigens preventing them from attacking cells in the body. Antitoxins attack antigens and destroy them
One way to produce a vaccine is to heat a virus or bacteria and then inject the inactive pathogen as a vaccination How would the heat inactivate a virus?
It is grown in living cells and the antigens that cell makes are what will be in the vaccine. These then are purified and stabilized. The Salk vaccine involves using viruses that have been inactivated by using formalin. Heat would not inactive the virus.
What is the reaction between antibody and particulate antigens called?
agglutination reaction
What is the difference between whole cell pertussis and acellular pertussis?
There was no statistical difference in mouse protective potency between these acellular or whole cell pertussis vaccines. 2. There were no differences in chemical ingredients between acellular and whole cell pertussis vaccines except for protein nitrogen content. The protein nitrogen content of whole cell vaccine was at least three times higher than that of the acellular product. 3. Anti-PT antibody productivity of the acellular vaccine was higher than that of the whole cell vaccine. 4. Anti-agglutinogen antibody productivity of the whole cell vaccine was higher than that of the acellular vaccine. 5. There was no pyrogenic activity with the acellular vaccine, but high pyrogenicity was seen with whole cell vaccine. 6. There was high body-weight decreasing toxicity in mice and guinea pigs by the whole cell vaccine. 7. The mice died when they received whole cell pertussis vaccine iv, but no deaths occurred in the mice which received acellular pertussis vaccine.
Male have vaccine for HBV what we found in serum?
