9 Questions
Which of the following immunosuppressives is used for KCS, immune-mediated diseases, primarily atopic dermatitis
Cyclosporin (atopica)
Immunosuppressive commonly used for immune-mediated diseases including (most commonly) IMHA, myasthenia gravis, pemphigus falaceus, and inflammatory bowel disease (vomiting and diarrhea are the most commonly seen side effects)
Mycophenolate (cellcept)
Immunosuppressive commonly used for autoimmune diseases, atopic dermatitis, and pemphigus; ophthalmic form for KCS
Tacrolimus (protopic)
MATCH
Panleukopenia, herpesvirus, calicivirus, rabies = Cat Distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, rabies = Dog Distemper, rabies = Ferret
- = -
Match
Incapable of replicating within the body = Killed or inactivated Virulence of pathogen is greatly reduced, still capable of causing an immune response but significantly less virulent (is most used) = Attenuated or modified live Developed by passing a virus through a series of cell cultures or animal models to slightly alter the ability of the virus to recognize its host (can still replicate within the cells of the host, can turn pathogenic and rarely used) = Live Use a carrier such as attenuated virus or bacterium, to introduce microbial DNA to the host, mimics naturally occurring infection and thereby stimulating the immune response in the recipient = Recombinant
Match
Rabies, canine influenza, leptspirosis, Prestige 5 + west nile virus vaccine = Killed or inactivated Canine parvovirus, equine encephalomyelitis, bovine viral diarrhea, Nobivac feline rhinotracheitis = Attenuated or modified live Newcastle disease, Bordetella bronchiseptica = Live R canine distemper virus vaccine, r feline rhinotracheitis, r canine lyme disease = Recombinant vaccine
Match
Used for viruses dangerous to culture in a lab, immunize by injection of DNA-encoded viral antigens = Polynucleotide vaccines Used in cases in which a bacterial toxin would cause harm, toxin is inactivated with formaldehyde and sterile water then developed into a vaccine = Toxoid vaccines Stimulate and immediate immune response to neutralize the antigen, example of passive immunity = Antiserums and antitoxoids Prepared by collecting samples and isolating pathogens from the actual patient that has to be treated = Autogenous vaccines
Match
Bovine herpesvirus, west nile virus, newcastle disease = Polynucleotide vx Tetanus = Toxoid vx Canine melanoma = Autogenous vx Core vx for domestic species = Polyvalent vx
Produced to protect the recipient from multiple pathogens
Polyvalent vx
