Active versus Passive Immunity01:31

Active versus Passive Immunity

11.5K
Immunity, along with the ability to limit pathogen growth to prevent significant body tissue damage, can be gained either by (1) actively developing an immune response within the individual after exposure to a pathogen or after getting vaccinated or (2) passively transferring immune components from an immune individual to one who is nonimmune. Both these forms of immunity can be found naturally and in medical practices.

Cancer Vaccines

1.2K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Immunological Memory01:23

Immunological Memory

17.6K
Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity

3.8K
The adaptive immune system, a crucial component of the overall immune response, offers a highly specialized defense against pathogens. It involves specific cell types and features, enabling it to combat infections effectively and efficiently.
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

1.3K
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Live attenuated vaccines are known for their high immunogenicity and potential for long-lasting immune responses.
  • Developing effective vaccines against influenza remains a global health priority due to viral evolution and antigenic drift.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and highlight strategies for generating live attenuated influenza viruses (LAIVs).
  • To emphasize the capacity of these LAIVs to induce comprehensive immune protection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent studies by Wang et al. (2017) and Si et al. (2016) detailing LAIV generation.
  • Analysis of immune responses elicited by the described LAIVs.

Main Results:

  • The reviewed strategies successfully generated live attenuated influenza viruses.
  • These LAIVs demonstrated the ability to elicit robust humoral, mucosal, and cellular immunity.
  • The induced immunity was effective against diverse influenza virus strains.

Conclusions:

  • Live attenuated influenza virus strategies can yield vaccines with broad and durable protective capabilities.
  • These approaches hold promise for enhancing influenza vaccine efficacy and breadth of coverage.
