Why is anti-measles vaccine given at 9 months?
anti measles vaccine is given at 9 months of age because before that the child has already got anti measles antibodies derived from her mother and the vaccine would be unable to elicit the response. At 9 months , we assume (in case of developing nations) that there are no maternal antimeasles antibodies left
Why doesnt the measles vaccine protect you from all of these disease?
AnswerBecause it does not help in production of the antibodies against other diseases inside the human body.ExplanationMeasles vaccine contain measles viruses (alive) called antigen. The measles virus inside it are alive but do not cause this disease because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but do not cause serious illness.When this vaccine is inserted inside human body, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of vaccine viruses (measles) and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against measles viruses.The measles viruses of vaccine are alive so they reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the measles viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against the measles viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual measles viruses.These antibodies can not prevent from other virus because every virus has different structure so different antibodies are needed to destroy it. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this pathogen.Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this pathogen.So the other diseases are prevented by other vaccine having the viruses of this disease which help the production of antibodies against this specific disease.The viruses of vaccines may be killed or alive.
What are the purpose of agglutination test?
Agglutination serves to provide an idea of the presence of certain antibodies within the body. If specific antibodies against the antigen are present, the antibodies will combine with the antigens, coat the cells and cause the cells to join together, or agglutinate. It can be used to identify unknown antigens in diagnosing infections and to determine matching tissue types and blood groupings between two individuals.
How can one exposure to measles provide lifelong immunity?
One exposure to measles can provide lifelong immunity because the immune system generates a robust response to the virus during the initial infection. This response involves the production of specific antibodies and the formation of memory immune cells that "remember" the virus. If the individual encounters the virus again in the future, these memory cells can quickly recognize and mount a defense, effectively preventing reinfection. This long-lasting immunity is characteristic of many viral infections, including measles, due to the virus's ability to stimulate a strong and durable immune response.
Antibodies are produced by what cells?
Antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes as the third line of defense to provide humoral immunity.
What effect does the vaccine have on the body?
A vaccine contains the pathogen ( a foreign body which causes diseases/illnesses) which the virus is designed to provide protection for ie: a flu vaccine will contain a flu virus, measles has the measles virus etc... - but they have been treated so they are in effect dead and so will cause no symptoms, your body can only recognise a pathogen, it does not know that it is dead and can not harm you,so your body produces antibodies ( cells that fight off and remove pathogens from the body) to fight this vaccine, the antibodies remain in the body forever (unless you have an autoimmune/immunodeficiency illness) so when you come into contact with say the flu your body already has the antibodies and you don't get sick because your body removes the pathogen before it gets chance to take hold.
How long does breast milk provide baby with antibodies?
Your baby will get antibodies from breastfeeding throughout the time you are breastfeeding and for 2-3 months after weaning.
Can you provide me with the trip confirmation for my upcoming vacation?
Please provide me with your booking reference number or the email address used to make the reservation so I can assist you in retrieving your trip confirmation.
How do home test kits indicate pregnancy?
Although each of these products may look slightly different and provide a different set of directions for use, each one detects the presence of hCG. This indicator contains chemical components called antibodies
On an iphone is there a way to get confirmation that a text was read by the recipent?
No, Apple does not provide this function.
Does having the measles make you immune from shingles?
No, in fact Measles causes Shingles later in life. If you have had Measles you may very well develop Shingles when you are elderly. There is a vaccine for Shingles, but it's only available to those over the age of 60.
are you supposed to still get the MMR vaccine if you have had measles?
Yes, individuals who have had measles should still receive the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. While having had measles does provide some natural immunity, the vaccine helps ensure robust and longer-lasting protection against future infections and also protects against mumps and rubella. It's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
