Active Natural Immunity

Active Artificial Immunity

Definition
Four types of immunity.
Term
Passive Immunity
Definition
Refers to short term immunity where antibody is given to you, usually lasting less than a year.
Term
Active Immunity
Definition
Long term immunity where you make your own antibodies.
Term
Passive Natural Immunity
Definition
Antibodies are given as in maternal antibodies.
Term
Passive Artificial Immunity
Definition
Antibodies are given after exposure to infectious disease to give the body time to develop its own antibodies. Ex: rabies, anti-hepatitis Aby's
Term
Active Natural Immunity
Definition
When you get an infection and you make your own antibodies.
Term
Active Artificial Immunity
Definition
When you are given an altered or weakened antigen in order to stimulate antibody production.
Term
Vaccinations/Immunizations
Definition
Example of Active Artifical Immunity
Term
80%
Definition
There are vaccines for over ____% of infectious diseases.
Term
attenuated
Definition
weakened form
Term

Dead bacteria vaccine

Weakened Bacteria vaccine

Different Strain vaccine

Toxoid vaccine

Epitope vaccine

Definition
Five different ways active artificial immunity can be given. 
Term
dead bacteria vaccine
Definition
This type of vaccine doesn't last long in the body.
Term
weakened bacteria vaccine
Definition
This type of vaccine has bacteria in it that can multiply very slowly.
Term
Different strain vaccine
Definition
This type of vaccine has a bacteria/virus that is slightly different and has different pathogenicity or no pathogenicity. Polio vaccine is an example of this type of vaccine.
Term
Toxoid vaccine
Definition
This type of vaccine contains a weakened exotoxin, such as in the tetanus vaccine.
Term
Epitope vaccine
Definition
Most current vaccines use this type of vaccine that contains only part of the antigen for the infectious disease and cannot cause any harm.
Term
