When is passive immunotherapy used? The attenuated vaccine is too difficult to produce. The pathogen does not produce a toxin. The microorganism can't be genetically manipulated. The protection against a recent infection is needed immediately.

Active immunizations involve the exposure of a person to a pathogen whose virulence (ability to cause disease) has been reduced without altering its antigenicity (nature of its antigens). How do you think this might be accomplished? What are the benefits and dangers of this procedure?

1. A vaccination is an example of (passive/active) immunity 2. A vaccination is an example of (natural/artificial) immunity 3. True/False: Memory cells are produced during passive immunity. 4. Explain herd immunity 5. An effective vaccine will cause a strong: A. primary response upon exposure to the pathogen B. secondary response upon exposure to the pathogen C. nonspecific response D. none of the above 6. What is more important when determining a vaccines efficacy? A. Production of memory cells B. Immediate production of antibodies 7. Which of the following generally elicits a stronger immune response? A. Attenuated vaccine B. Inactivated vaccine 8. A living microbe with reduced virulence that is used for vaccination is considered A. a toxoid B. virulent C. dormant D. attenuated 9. True/False: The measles vaccine is considered an effective attenuated vaccine. 10. Who should NOT be given attenuated vaccines?

Select the answers to the following questions: One problem with vaccines that contain killed pathogens is that. Attenuated vaccines typically cause a stronger immune response because. A toxoid, which contains denatured toxin from a pathogen, would best be described as an example of. they cannot be given to immunocompromised people. they are given to people with a weakened immune system. Subunit vaccine. Recombinant vaccine. the pathogens used in these vaccines are extremely virulent. they may not stimulate a strong response. Killed vaccine. they are given to people who have a very strong immune system. the pathogen can still multiply in the host. large numbers of pathogens are used in them. Attenuated vaccine. the pathogen may reactivate and cause disease. they may stimulate an excessive immune response. Inactivated vaccine. they can only be given to immunocompromised people.
