Novel vaccine technologies and applications latest comprehensive Q & A 1: What are novel vaccine technologies? - correct answer - Novel vaccine technologies refer to new and innovative methods for developing vaccines, including mRNA vaccines, viral vector vaccines, protein subunit vaccines, and DNA vaccines. 2: How do mRNA vaccines work? - correct answer - mRNA vaccines work by introducing a messenger RNA sequence into the body, which instructs cells to produce a protein that triggers ...

Pretest: Which of the following is true regarding the use of mRNA in vaccine technology? mRNA is the genetic blueprint that tells your body how to make a particular protein subunit of a virus which, after being produced, leads to immune response Pretest: When storing vaccines in the refrigerator, pharmacists should: Use water bottles to help stabilize temperatures Pretest: A young adult presenting with swelling of the parotid glands most likely has which of the following diseases: Mumps ...

The world of surgery in prior to the 1900's was primitive by our standards. Although Fracastoro of Verona in 1546 theorized that small germs could cause contagious diseases, no one associated them with wound infections. Bed linen and laboratory coats were not routinely washed, and surgical instruments were only cleaned before they were put away for storage. The same probe was used for the wounds of all patients during rounds to look for pockets of undrained pus. Pain and pus were considered ...

Drug Discovery • Unlike small molecule drugs (pharmaceuticals), large molecule drugs (biopharmaceuticals) are mainly protein-based o These protein-based drugs are similar to natural biological compounds found in human body or they're fragments that mimic active part of natural compounds Discovery of Pharmaceuticals commences w/ scanning hundreds of compounds, whether w/ actual materials (irrational approach) or virtual simulations (rational approach) • Pharmaceuticals are new che...

Attenuated Whole Agent Vaccines - -MMR (measles, mumps, rubella vaccine) -VAR (varicella [chickenpox] vaccine) -Zoster (Zostavax shingles vaccine) -LAIV (nasal Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine; Flu Mist) -RV (RotaTeq & Rotarix rotavirus oral vaccines) Inactivated Whole Agent Vaccines - -vaccine contains inactivated "dead" microbes -incapable of infecting the host PROS: safe--no chance of infection from the vaccine IPV (Injected Polio Vaccine) IIV (Inactivated Influenza Vaccine) Hep...

What makes a good vaccine? - answer-Variolation or Inoculation (Safety) Vaccination (Cost) Effectiveness Type of Immunity Vaccine Production - answer-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) - answer-Weakened or less virulent p...

Microbiology Vaccines Exam Questions And Answers. An example of natural passive immunity would be a. Chickenpox infection is followed by lifelong immunity b. A fetus acquiring maternal IgG to the chickenpox virus across the placenta c. Giving a person immune serum globulins to chickenpox virus after exposure to the disease d. Chickenpox vaccine triggers extended immunity to chickenpox e. None of the choices are correct - CORRECT ANSWER A fetus acquiring maternal IgG to the chickenpo...

Active Immunotherapy Ans: Administering antigens to help the patient's immune system respond actively. Passive Immunotherapy Ans: Receiving antibodies from someone with a strong immune system for immunity. Variolation Ans: Inoculation of smallpox into the skin. Contact Immunity Ans: Immunity passed after contact with someone vaccinated with a weakened vaccine. Adjuvants Ans: Chemical additives in vaccines to improve effectiveness. Inactivated Vaccines Ans: Killed pathogens for safer ...
