10 Questions
What are the two types of immunity mentioned in the text?
Active Immunity and Passive Immunity
What is the Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) used for?
It is used for Passive Immunotherapy against bacterial infections
What are the advantages and disadvantages of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies?
Advantages and disadvantages are discussed in Seixas et al., Vaccines 2022
What are IgY and single-domain antibodies also known as?
They are also known as 'nanobodies'
Where can one find information about Passive Immunization preclinical and clinical trials?
Information can be found in Seixas et al., Vaccines 2022
Explain the concept of passive immunotherapy against bacterial infections and provide an example of a passive immunotherapy approach mentioned in the text.
Passive immunotherapy against bacterial infections involves the administration of pre-formed antibodies to provide immediate protection. An example of passive immunotherapy mentioned in the text is Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using polyclonal antibodies in immunotherapy against bacterial infections?
The advantages of using polyclonal antibodies include their ability to target multiple epitopes and the potential for enhanced efficacy. However, the disadvantages include batch-to-batch variability and the potential for non-specific binding.
Describe the concept of active immunization against bacterial infections and provide an example of an active immunization approach mentioned in the text.
Active immunization involves the stimulation of the host's immune system to generate an immune response against a specific pathogen. An example of active immunization mentioned in the text is the use of vaccines developed by Stanberry and Strugnell in Perspectives in Vaccinology, 2011.
Explain the role of IgY and single-domain ('nanobodies') antibodies in immunotherapy against bacterial infections.
IgY and single-domain ('nanobodies') antibodies have been explored for their potential in immunotherapy against bacterial infections. IgY, derived from avian species, and single-domain antibodies, known for their small size and high stability, offer promising alternatives for therapeutic use.
What are the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance dissemination mentioned in the text?
The mechanisms of antibiotic resistance dissemination mentioned in the text include those discussed by Gupta et al. in Environment International, 2020. These mechanisms contribute to the global challenge of antibiotic resistance.
