Vaccination

Pregunta	Respuesta
What is the function of passive immunisation?	Used to provide immunity to infection before animal can mount its own immune response

Give an example of a live virulent vaccine	Orf vaccine in sheep
What are live attenuated vaccines?	Reduce virulence of agent through genetic modification, chemicals or growth at certain temperatures
Do attenuated vaccines cause infection?	Low-grade infection induced which cannot cause disease
What are live heterologous vaccines?	Antigenically related but adapted to another species
Give an example of a live heterologous vaccine	Measles virus can be used in dogs to provide cross-immunity against distemper
What are killed or non-infectious vaccines?	Organism is antigenically intact but unable to replicate
Give 3 methods for killing agents for use in vaccines	Formalin Alcohol Alkylating agents
Are killed vaccines more likely to induce a humoral or cell-mediated immune response and why?	Th2 mediated humoral response Lack of a cell-mediated immune response as cannot infect cells
Why does the immune system not respond as effectively to killed vaccines?	Agent does not move around the body
What is meant by risk of return to virulence?	Attenuated agent could regain virulent properties by recombination with bacteria in the environment or animal
Which type of vaccine requires more doses?	Killed vaccines require more doses than live vaccines
Which type of vaccine requires an adjuvant?	Killed vaccines
Which type of vaccine is more stable?	Killed vaccines are more stable than live vaccines
How does replication allow live vaccines to induce better immunity?	Increasing antigenic challenge over days to weeks
How does location allow live vaccines to induce better immunity?	Immunological challenge is at a relevant anatomical site
Why do live vaccines contain more antigens?	Expressed as well as structural antigens
Why are live vaccines more able to stimulate cell-mediated immunity?	Intracellular replication
What are subunit vaccines?	Contain antigenic epitopes (structural proteins or specific metabolites) that induce protective immunity
Give an example of a subunit vaccine	Leukocell 2 Contains glycoprotein 70 extracted from feline leukaemia virus
Give 2 disadvantages of synthetic peptide vaccines	Low immunogenicity so require adjuvant Monospecific immune response
How are synthetic peptide vaccines produced?	Amino acid sequencers
What are GM vaccines?	Attenuate organism by modifying or deleting virulence genes
Give an example of a GM vaccine	Removal of thymidine kinase gene from swine herpesvirus
What are marker vaccines?	Allow differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals
What is IBR?	Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis
How is IBR diagnosed?	Antibody to glycoprotein E
How has a marker vaccine been developed against IBR?	Remove glycoprotein E gene from vaccine Can differentiate between infected and vaccinated animals
What is meant if a cow has no anti-glycoprotein E?	Seropositive due to vaccine
What is meant if a cow has serum anti-glycoprotein E?	Field exposure
What are recombinant vaccines?	Remove RNA from viruses that codes for antigenic epitope Protein can be synthesised and harvested from E.Coli
Describe the process by which recombinant vaccines are produced	RNA encoding viral antigen Reverse transcriptase converts to DNA Gene excised with restriction endonucleases Inserted into E.Coli plasmid Antigen harvested from E.Coli Mixed with adjuvant for vaccine
Give an example of a recombinant vaccine	Leucogen (Virbac) Recombinant feline leukaemia virus p45 antigen
Which 2 adjuvants are used in this vaccine?	Aluminium hydroxide Quil A
Why is an adjuvant required for recombinant vaccines?	Improve immunogenicity
How can recombinant organisms be used to transfer viral genes into host organisms?	Benign virus carrier Attenuated bacterial carrier
Why is canarypox virus a commonly used vector?	No infection in mammals
For which 2 vaccines is canarypox used as a vector in Europe?	Feline leukaemia virus Cat rabies
For which vaccine is canarypox used as a vector in the USA?	Distemper
Are recombinant bacterial vaccines available yet?	No
What is naked DNA vaccination?	Plasmid DNA used as vaccination Transfects host cells including dendritic cells Antigen presented in lymph node Strong T and B cell responses induced
Give 3 routes of administration for naked DNA	Intramuscular Mucosal Intradermal with carrier such as gold particles
Which barrier to vaccination may be overcome by naked DNA vaccination?	Maternally derived antibody
Give an example of a naked DNA vaccination used experimentally	Rabies glycoprotein gene given to dogs in bacterial plasmid
What is the advantage of naked DNA vaccination in terms of immunogenicity?	No adjuvant required
What is the advantage of naked DNA vaccination in terms of dosing?	Fewer doses required
What is meant by vaccine delivery via high pressure injection?	High pressure transdermal system
Which 2 cells are accessed by high pressure injection?	Epidermal Langerhans cells Dermal dendritic cells
In which species is aerosilisation commonly used to administer vaccines?	Poultry
What is a method of vaccine delivery specific to poultry?	In ovo
How are vaccines delivered in fish?	Immersion (water)
How can vaccines be used in cancer therapy?	Enhance immune response to some cancers which can increase survival time
