Questions and Answers

What is the primary mechanism of action of recombinant vaccines?

  • Generating active immunity by administering whole cells or components of infectious agents
  • Stimulating passive immunity through the administration of preformed antibodies
  • Inducing an immune response by incorporating genes from pathogenic organisms into other cells (correct)
  • Creating immunological memory through the direct administration of antigens

    • Which type of immunity is typically stimulated by vaccines made against whole cells or components of infectious agents?

  • Innate immunity
  • Active immunity (correct)
  • Acquired immunity
  • Passive immunity

    • In what scenario is passive immunity used?

  • For long-term protection against specific pathogens
  • When there is not enough time to induce active protective immunity (correct)
  • To elicit an immediate immune response
  • To stimulate the production of memory cells
