Study Notes
Immunology of Active Vaccination
- Active vaccination stimulates the immune system to protect against subsequent encounters with infectious agents.
- Vaccines work by stimulating B and T cells of the immune system, creating a lineage of long-term memory cells that can fight subsequent infection.
- Active vaccination can be achieved with live attenuated organisms, killed organisms, purified components of organisms (epitopes), or their toxins.
- B-cells recognize epitopes on the virus in the vaccine, activate, and give rise to memory B cells and plasma cells that make specific antibodies to eliminate the virus.
- T-cells recognize epitopes on the virus in the vaccine, become activated, and become cytotoxic cells and memory T cells.
- Cytotoxic T cells directly attack and kill cells displaying the epitopes of the infected cells.
- Passive vaccination introduces antibodies to the host to "mop up" problematic antigens.
- Vaccines like Hepatitis B immune globulin, Hepatitis B vaccine, Measles-mumps-rubella virus vaccine (MMR), RhD Immune globulin, and Varicella Zoster immune globulin are used.
- The MMR vaccine is offered in the immediate post-partum for people with low or no rubella antibodies to protect against a rubella infection in subsequent pregnancies.
- Congenital Rubella Syndrome occurs with maternal exposure to rubella in the first trimester and can lead to congenital anomalies.
- The measles vaccine contains a live attenuated version of the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses and stimulates the immune system without causing significant disease.
- Rubella immunization should not be administered during pregnancy, but in very rare instances, it is not associated with an increase in the rate of birth defects if received during pregnancy.
