You can choose one or more than one option Flu is a disease induced by the Influenza virus, we need to repeat every year the vaccination against the flu because: the vaccine against the flu contains inactivated viruses that stimulate immunity for 6 months. annual vaccination results in the production of IgA and not of other immunoglobulin the flu virus presents antigenic variation in its capsid proteins. the flu virus presents antigenic variation in its envelope proteins. the flu vaccine is expired after six months

Which of the following molecules do you think would make good antigens for recognizing pathogens and why? - a cell wall protein - a piece of DNA inside a cell - a protein that is part of a flagella - a uniquely shaped protein that is part of a virus - a protein that is only made by prokaryotic cells - a protein that is only made by eukaryotic cells
Which of the following is an antigen that would only be recognized by a specific antibody? Group of answer choices The unique structure of a measles virus surface protein Peptidoglycan from bacterial cell walls The double-stranded RNA produced during infections by RNA viruses None of these would be recognized by an antibody
Yearly vaccination is the primary means of preventing and controlling flu outbreaks. Here 'yearly' is important because: New vaccines with better efficacy are produced each year Circulating strains of influenza viruses change from year to year New vaccines with up-to-date strain components are produced each year Who is at higher risk of developing severe pneumonia when infected with SARS-CoV-2? An undergraduate A student at high-school A 6-month-old baby A 70 years old man with diabetes and high blood pressure
Which of the following is NOT true about influenza? None of the other four answers (All are true about influenza) Influenza viruses infect only humans Immunization against one subtype of influenza virus fails to protect against all subtypes Some cases result in lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia Influenza viruses are highly genetically variable and undergo antigenic drifts and shifts
Polyomavirus and Papillomavirus, which is NOT correct? are circular dsDNA are icosahedral capsid are non-enveloped contain DNA and RNA polymerase their fusion with the host cell doesn’t involve in uncoating genome replicate in cytoplasm None of the above Both D and F D, E, and F
The seasonal flu shot is composed of "killed" influenza virus. Which type of vaccine is it? Hint: Since viruses are not alive, the term "killed" is replaced with what? inactivated virus attenuated toxoid DNA vaccine
To put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines were developed against the virus and people eligible to receive these are encouraged to get vaccinated. How do these vaccines work? * The vaccine will not cause the disease, but will help develop the body’s first line of defense. The vaccine mimics the virus that causes the disease and triggers the creation of antibodies. No answer The presence of the virus in the vaccine will improve the innate immune response of the body. The vaccine causes a mild infection that will trigger the production of antibodies against the virus.
