Topic: ImmunityAim: Explain the two different types of

immunity.

Do Now: Explain what occurs when an antigen enters the body.

HW: Castle Learning - Immune System. Due Thursday!

Immunity•Resistance to a disease

2 types of Immunity

Active Immunity

• Long-term• Acquired by:

1. coming into contact with pathogen

2. receiving vaccination = injection of weak or dead pathogen

How does a vaccine work?

A. Vaccine injected

B. Body makes antibodies & memory cells

C. Antibodies attach to antigens and help fight the pathogen

D. Memory cells stay in blood and quickly make antibodies if exposed to same pathogen

Jonas Salk developed the first vaccine in 1955 which was against polio (which attacks motor neurons).

Measles symptoms may include:• Bloodshot eyes, cough, feverlight sensitivity, muscle pain,

rash• Usually appears 3 - 5 days

after the first signs of being sick and may last 4 - 7 days.

• Usually starts on the head and spreads to other areas, moving down the body.

• Rash may appear as flat, discolored areas and solid, red, raised areas that later join together.

• Itchy’• Redness and irritation of the

eyes (conjunctivitis)• Runny nose, sore throat• Tiny white spots inside the

mouth (Koplik's spots)

Rubella (Three day measles, German measles)

• Children generally have few symptoms.

• Adults may experience a fever, headache, general discomfort, and a runny nose before the rash appears. They may not notice the symptoms.

• Other symptoms may include:– Bruising (rare)– Inflammation of the eyes

(bloodshot eyes)– Muscle or joint pain

Passive Immunity

•Temporary •Acquired by receiving antibodies

•Acquired by:   

1. Child receives antibodies in womb & during breastfeeding

2. Receiving antibodies orally or by injection

Let’s summarize…1. Explain the difference between

passive and active immunity.2. Explain how someone can receive

active immunity for a disease.3. Explain the contents of a vaccine.4. Explain how a person can receive

passive immunity for a disease.5. Why is passive immunity only

temporary?
