and Answers 100% Solved


What makes a good vaccine? - ✔✔Variolation or Inoculation (Safety)

Vaccination (Cost)

Effectiveness

Type of Immunity

Vaccine Production - ✔✔Dried up small pox scabs, ship live cows to make

the vaccine, own farms for vaccine production, infect egg with virus to

make the vaccine, DNA vaccines take a gene that codes for one of the

proteins to inject with the piece of DNA. Can't control where gene goes.

Vaccine Composition (Live Attenuated) - ✔✔Weakened or less virulent

pathogen

Actually infect the host

Robust immune response

Long lasting memory

Ex. Measles, Mumps

,©NINJANERD 2024/2025. YEAR PUBLISHED 2024.
Vaccine Composition (Killed) - ✔✔Whole killed pathogens (lots of potential

antigens)

Unable to infect the host

Weaker, short lived immunity

Often requires multiple boosters

Ex. Polio, Influenza

Vaccine Composition (Subunit or Toxoid) - ✔✔Specific molecules isolated

from a pathogen

Unable to infect the host

Weaker, short lived humoral (Ab) immunity

Often requires multiple boosters

Ex. Diphtheria, Tetanus

How is vaccination influenced by public perception? - ✔✔Autism, falsified

data, fraudulent. Not immunized you will get the disease. Herd immunity

threshold for a number of infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria,

mumps etc.

Do we need to be vaccinated against everything? - ✔✔Effect of vaccinating

for one disease on other disease.

- Chicken pox and shingles are cause by the same virus

Chicken pox significant decrease but increase in shingles people are not as

exposed to chicken pox and your immune system gets lazy

How has our world changed? - ✔✔Smallpox is the only disease eradicated

in history of humans by world wide vaccination effort. Spend $1 on a

vaccine and save $30

Are antibodies a silver bullet drug? - ✔✔Stick to a target and mutualize

each other so then the disease cannot stick to your cells and infect you.

Antibodies - Therapeutics - ✔✔-Antibodies are a protein produced by the

immune system that specifically recognizes target molecules

-Antibody therapeutics bind and neutralize targets, activate cells, kill cells,

and modulate immunity

-Represents the first immune treatments (>100 years ago)

- More than 30 licenced monoclonal Ab are sold in the US for treatment of

human disease

-8 /20 best selling biotech drugs were antibodies

-Currently used to treat cancers (colon, brain, lymphoma, leukemia, breast)

- Treat autoimmunity (lupus, arthritis, MS, asthma, IBD, Crohn's, diabetes)

- Treat infections (Hep B, HIV, sepsis, rabies, tetanus, C.difficile, anthrax)

- Prevent transplant rejection

Antibodies AB structures developed from non-rodent/non-primate species -

✔✔Not all anitbodies are the same, structural differences confer functional

differences

IgM- sticks to target

IgD-

IgG-making when you vaccinate someone

IgE-allergies

IgA- GI tract keeps gut lining from getting effected

Antibodies - Structure - ✔✔Bispecific - could recognize two things are the

same time

"Smart Drugs"- Immunotoxins/ Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC) -

✔✔Direct a drug to a specific target recognized by the antibody.

Conventional Chemotherapy: recognize the tumor cell, place the drug and

kill it

Infectious Disease - ✔✔Worldwide, 1 in 3 deaths is attributable to

infectious disease

Vast majority of these deaths are preventable by vaccine

Making progress but one of the biggest threats is emerging and re-

emerging disease
