Microbiology chapter 17 potential test questions Flashcards

to obtain immediate immunity against tetanus, a patient should receive

1. an attenuated vaccine of Clostridium tetani
2. a modified live vaccine of Clostridium tetani
3. tetanus toxoid
4. immunoglobin against tetanus toxin (antitoxin)
5. a subunit vaccine against Clostridium tetani

Which of the following vaccine types is commonly given with an adjuvant

1. an attenuated vaccine
2. a modified live vaccine
3. a chemically killed vaccine
4. an immunoglobulin
5. an agglutinating antigen

Attenuation is

1. the process of reducing virulence
2. a necessary step in vaccine manufacture
3. a form of variolation
4. similar to an adjuvant

An antiserum is

1. an anti-antibody
2. an inactivated vaccine
3. formed of monoclonal antibodies
4. the liquid portion of blood used for immunization

Monoclonal antibodies

1. are produced by hybridomas
2. are secreted by clone cells
3. can be used for passive immunization
4. all of the above

The study of antibody-antigen interaction in the blood is

1. attenuation
2. agglutination
3. precipitation
4. serology
