  2. ObjectivesStudents should be able to: • summarise the mechanisms of primary and secondary immune responses to virus infections and to vaccines. • compare and contrast different types of vaccine with some veterinary examples. • describe the influence of maternal antibody on vaccination outcome. • list some of possible reasons for the failure of vaccines to protect against disease.

  3. Vaccination involves setting up memory to the virus infection such that a high level of cytotoxic T cells (Tc) and IgG are activated in 1-2 days instead of 4-10 days. These curtail the infection before lesions develop. IgA/IgG at mucosal surfaces are also useful to neutralise virus before entry but is difficult to achieve except by mucosal live vaccines.

  19. SUMMARY • Vaccines are used for endemic diseases which may then become so rare vaccination can cease • Vaccines induce memory for Tc and VN IgG/IgA but without the risk of disease. • Most commercial vaccines are either inactivated or live-attenuated with the exception of the recombinant FeLV from E.Coli. • Inactivated vaccines are more expensive to produce and often administered with adjuvants • Vaccines must be quality controlled • The vaccination programme must allow for maternal antibody • Vaccines can fail, most usually because of new challenge viruses with altered antigens or increased virulence.
