Document Summary

November 30, 2016: acquired immunity - vaccines. Get the antigen from being around a sick person. Natural: antibody transfer (from mother to child: transplacental or colostrum transfer, but, the immune system hasn"t learned for itself and won"t be protected next time. Giving snake antivenom: but, the immune system hasn"t learned and won"t be protected next time. Vaccine: suspension of attenuated or killed microorganisms, or a fraction of these, administered to induce an immune response and thus prevent the infectious disease. Anatoxin: modi ed non-toxic version of a toxin which retains its immunogenicity. Inactive form of the toxin that is still similar enough to the toxin that you will have learnt how to deal with it. Adjuvant: compound added to the vaccine preparation to increase the immune response. Helps ensure that the 3rd line is recruited and will assess, learn, and remember for next time. Preservative: thiomersal (an organomercurial) - antibacterial and antifungal.

E) has been replaced by genetic engineering in isolating the antigen of a pathogen. 14) A woman uses a home pregnancy test kit that tests for hCG hormone in urine. She knows this is a type of antibody assay from the kit brochure. Antibodies reacting with the hormone produce two lines on the test strip. What specific type of antibody assay does this represent? A) a direct immunofluoresence test C) an immunochromatographic assay B) a complement fixation test D) an ELISA E) a neutralization assay 15) The complement fixation test uses red blood cells as the target for complement activation. Test serum containing antibodies is combined with a known amount of antigen in a tube, and then the RBCs and antibodies against the RBCs are added.

D) a fluorescent precipitate. E) a solution that is clear due to precipitation of RBCs.
