Study Notes

Vaccination and Immunity

Vaccination is the most effective method of controlling and preventing microbial diseases.

Similarities between Cell-mediated and Humoral Immunity

Both humoral and cell-mediated immunity are active immunities.
Both have a lag period.
Both are active against a wide variety of pathogens.
Both possess immunological memories.
Both systems are not effective in immune-deficient individuals.

Acquiring Immunity: Passive vs Active Immunization

Passive Immunization:
- Natural: maternal serum/milk/colostrum.
- Artificial: immune serum (hyperimmune sera).
Active Immunization:
- Natural: infection (subclinical or clinical).
- Artificial:
  - Attenuated organisms (live).
  - Inactivated organisms (dead).
  - Cloned genes of microbiological antigens (DNA).
  - Purified microbial macromolecules.
  - Synthetic peptides.

Definition of a Vaccine

A vaccine is a biological preparation (viral, bacterial, protozoan) introduced to the host to improve its immunity to a particular disease.
A vaccine is a preparation used to stimulate the immune system.
