    Study Notes

    Types of Immunization

    • Passive immunization involves the administration of antibodies, providing immediate/short-lived protection with no immunological memory
    • Active immunization involves the administration of antigens, inducing an immune response and immunological memory

    Passive Immunization

    • Involves the use of preformed antibodies specific to a particular antigen
    • Provides immediate/short-lived protection
    • No immunological memory
    • Less commonly used in veterinary medicine

    Active Immunization

    • Involves the administration of antigens, inducing an immune response and immunological memory
    • Most common form of immunization
    • Vaccines are the most common form of active immunization

    Vaccine Efficacy

    • Expressed as a reduction in disease attack rate between unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals
    • Calculated using the formula: (ARU - ARV) / ARU x 100
    • Attack rate may refer to different outcomes such as death, severe disease, clinical disease, or infection
    • The same vaccine may have different efficacies for each outcome

    Types of Vaccines

    • Live-attenuated vaccines
    • Killed/inactivated vaccines
    • Component vaccines
    • Toxoid vaccines
    • Recombinant subunit vaccines
    • Nucleic acid vaccines
    • Virus-like particles
    • Reverse vaccinology

    Live Attenuated Vaccines

    • Use a weakened form of the pathogen, which induces an immune response without causing disease

    Killed/Inactivated Vaccines

    • Use a killed or inactivated form of the pathogen, which induces an immune response without causing disease

    Subunit Vaccines

    • Use only a portion of the pathogen, which induces an immune response without causing disease

    Nucleic Acid Vaccines

    • DNA vaccines use a plasmid containing the gene for the target antigen, which generates mRNA to express the antigenic protein
    • mRNA vaccines use messenger RNA to express the antigenic protein

    Recombinant Organism Vaccines

    • Involve cloning the gene that codes for the immunogenic protein and inserting it into a vector (such as a virus incapable of causing disease in the host)
    • The vaccinated host is infected with the vector, inducing an immune response

    DIVA Vaccines

    • Differentiate Infected from Vaccinated Animals, allowing for the detection of infected animals

    Adjuvants

    • Substances that facilitate or enhance the immune response to an antigen with which it is combined

    Vaccine Safety

    • Vaccines are generally considered safe, but like all medical interventions, they can have adverse events
    • The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks
