The first triple antigen, known as the DTP vaccine, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, was developed in the 1940s. It was initially licensed for use in the United States in 1948. The combination of these three vaccines into a single immunization was a significant advancement in public health, allowing for easier administration and increased vaccination rates.
What else can I help you with?
Why is DPT called triple antigen?
DPT is called triple antigen DPT means depthirian petanues tetanus
Which is NOT a cardinal sign of inflammation?
During the first exposure to an antigen antibodies are produced
What are those disease which is not immunized by triple antigen?
tetanus
Antibodies are produced in the body and attach themselves to antigen?
Yes that is true, and they only attach to a non-self antigen, that is, an antigen not produced in the body. and they only attach to certain antigens
What is the difference between soluble and particulate antigen?
A soluble antigen is a viral antigen that remains after the virus has been removed. A particulate antigen is produced by particles such as dust and germs.
Can an antibody produced to fight against one antigen fight against a different antigen?
true
What is the class of antibody first secreted in response to a new antigen?
IgM is the class of antibody first secreted in response to a new antigen. It is produced during the initial immune response and helps to activate other components of the immune system.
What does the triple antigen vaccine prevent?
There are different kinds of triple antigen vaccines. A triple antigen vaccine is one made with three different antigens (often three virus strains). The seasonal flu vaccines are examples of triple antigen vaccines, because they contain vaccines against the three influenza viruses most prominent and most likely to spread that season. These are also called Triple Valent or Trivalent vaccines. Another example is the MMR trivalent vaccine made to vaccinate against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Several of the childhood vaccinations are this type of trivalent vaccine.
The y- shaped protein that is produced by plasma cells upon exposure to a specific antigen and can bind to that antigen is called a?
antibody
Is an antibodie an antigen?
An antibody is a glycoprotein that is produced by plasma cells. It consists of heavy chains and light chains. An antigen is a molecule that interacts with an antibody (or T-Cell). When the antigen interaction induces an immune response it is known as an immunogen.
What is an IgM antibody?
IgM is produced upon initial exposure to an antigen. For example, when a person receives the first tetanus vaccination, antitetanus antibodies of the IgM class are produced 10 to 14 days later. IgM is abundant in the blood.
What is an autoantigen?
An antigen is an antibody generator which is introduced to the body to provoke a reaction. When appropriate an autoantigen is introduced for specific autoimmune issues.
