Overview Ways viruses can benefit your life, how some viruses are harmful, spreading of disease and prevention of viruses Influenza, the flu and how it works, how vaccines work. Attenuated Vaccines, Weakened form of the germ, prevents viruses from getting you sick Inactivated Vaccines, A dead version of the Germ, protects from the flu Subunit Vaccines, used when one part of the virus is causing the disease Toxoid Vaccines, Made from toxins
3
Ways Viruses Can be Beneficial in your Life
Ways Viruses Can be Beneficial in your Life Vaccines can be made from viruses Gene therapy Cure cancer Nikita Reveka
4
Ways viruses harm our lives
Viruses affect our body by attacking our cells You can get very sick It could also attack your nervous system You can get hospitalized Nikita Reveka
5
Spreading of diseases Coughing/sneezing Touching or shaking hands
Sexual contact Exchanges of saliva Nikita Reveka
6
Prevention of viruses Wash your hands Get a vaccine
Stay home if your sick Use single use- tissues Nikita Reveka
7
Influenza Rian Granito Get shot every year evolves and mutates quickly
antibody change as time goes on Everyone over 6 months should get flu shot Rian Granito
8
Influenza (cont.) Rian Granito Antibodies protect you from virus
Last year's vaccine won't work for this year's virus structure changes shape and structure Children under five have higher risk of getting flu Rian Granito
9
How Vaccines Work Rian Granito antibodies protect you from virus
fight against the disease Lymphocytes create antibodies Antibodies attack antigen and prevent infection Rian Granito
10
How Vaccines Work (cont.)
several days for antibody reaction Provide immunity weakened antigens fight infection Immune system fights virus Rian Granito
11
Attenuated Vaccines Weakened form of the germ
Created by reducing the virulence of a pathogen, but still keeping it alive Creates a long lasting immune response 1 or 2 doses of the vaccine gives you a lifetime of protection from the germ Joseph Martino
12
Attenuated Vaccines Prevents viruses from getting you sick
Needs to be kept cool Doesn't travel well Protect you from are small pox, chicken pox, and shingles Joseph Martino
13
Inactivated Vaccines Killed version of the germ
May need several doses over time Does not provide immunity Not as strong as live vaccines Joseph Martino
14
Inactivated Vaccines Protects you from sickness
Takes about 2 weeks to protect you from sickness Typically for people with immunodeficiency Protects you from the Flu, Hepatitis A, and Rabies Joseph Martino
15
Subunit vaccines Relatively easy to produce
Subunit vaccines are used when one part of the Virus is causing the disease This cannot cause the disease They are difficult to make Nick Wursta
16
Subunit Vaccines Use genetic engineering techniques to produce
Subunit vaccines can contain from antigens An antigen is the protein responsible for the disease Examples: Hepatitis B, Gardasil Nick Wursta
17
Toxoid Vaccines Vaccine made from toxins or poison Harmless
Starts an immune response against the toxin Stable and long lasting Nick Wursta
18
Toxoid Vaccines Exotoxins inactivated by heat or chemicals
Used when bacterial toxins are cause of illness Used to become immune to toxin Examples: Tetanus, Diphtheria Nick Wursta
19
ABC's Vaccines can be used to prevent viral infection by:
a. getting an immune response from the host b. killing the virus c. Make the virus smaller d. Getting the virus out of your system Nikita Reveka
20
ABC's What word in Latin means virus? a. dog b. poison
c. Poison or slimy liquid d. bugs Nikita Reveka
21
ABC's ?: What system fights back the flu? a.: skeletal b.: nervous
c.: immune d.: cardiovascular Rian Granito
22
ABC's ?: what cells create antibodies? a.: lysosomes b.: lymphocytes
c.: lipids d.: lactose Rian Granito
23
ABC's ?: How many vaccines can give you a lifetime protection of a germ? a.: 1 or 2 b. 3 or 4 c. 5 or 6 d. 7 or 8 Joseph Martino
24
ABC's ?: What virus won't protect you with vaccines? a.: chicken pox
b.: shingles c.: Klinefelter d.: small pox Joseph Martino
25
ABC's How many Antigens can a subunit Vaccine Contain? a. 1-20
d Nick Wursta
26
ABC's What are exotoxins inactivated by? a. Snow b. Water
c. Heat or Chemicals d. Rocks Nick Wursta
