Vaccine History • Variolation: Inoculation of smallpox into skin (18th century) • Vaccination: Inoculation of cowpox into skin • Herd immunity results when most of a population is immune to a disease
Principal Vaccines Used in the United States to Prevent Bacterial Diseases in Humans 。DtaP Diphtheria:Purified diphtheria toxoid Pertussis:Acellular fragments of B.pertussis Tetanus:Purified tetanus toxoid Meningococcal meningitis:Purified polysaccharide from N.meningitidis Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis: Polysaccharides conjugated with protein Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine:S.pneumoniae antigens conjugated with protein

Precipitation Reactions Antigens (soluble)】 ·Involve soluble Zone of equivalence: antigens with visible precipitate antibodies Antibodies (a) Figure 18.3
Precipitation Reactions • Involve soluble antigens with antibodies Figure 18.3
Agglutination Reactions Involve particulate antigens and antibodies △0 Antigenic determinants 。Antigens may be: 。On a cell(direct agglutination) △ Bacterium 。Attached to latex △△0 spheres (indirect 0口V or passive agglutination) Figure 18.4
Agglutination Reactions • Involve particulate antigens and antibodies • Antigens may be: • On a cell (direct agglutination) • Attached to latex spheres (indirect or passive agglutination) Figure 18.4

Antibody Titer • Is the concentration of antibodies against a particular antigen Figure 18.5
Hemagglutination Hemagglutination involves agglutination of RBCs. Viral hemagglutination inhibition tests for antibodies by the antibodies'ability to prevent viruses from agglutinating RBCs. Red blood cells Viruses Hemagglutination Figure 18.7
Hemagglutination • Hemagglutination involves agglutination of RBCs. • Viral hemagglutination inhibition tests for antibodies by the antibodies' ability to prevent viruses from agglutinating RBCs. Figure 18.7
Neutralization Reactions Eliminate the harmful effect of a virus or exotoxin Red blood cells Antiviral antibodies Viruses Viruses neutralized and from serum hemagglutination inhibited (b)Viral hemagglutination test to detect antibodies to a virus.These viruses will normally cause hemagglutination when mixed with red blood cells.If antibodies to the virus are present,as shown here,they neutralize and inhibit hemagglutination.

Neutralization Reactions • Eliminate the harmful effect of a virus or exotoxin Figure 18.8b
