Question
Answer
active immunity   developed from exposure of a pathogen through the process of vaccination  
🗑
allergen   pollens in the air that cause an allegic reaction  
🗑
antibody   specific proteins produced to protect a newborn against disease and attack cells relating to any diseases  
🗑
antihistamine   drugs used to prevent and control an allergic reaction  
🗑
atopy   skin or food allergy causing a skin infection  
🗑
blood titer   measured amount of antigen within the bloodstream  
🗑
boster series   vaccines placed into the immune system to build up protection and immunity over an amount of time  
🗑
colostrum   the mother's first 24 hours of milk after labor, which pass antibodies to the young  
🗑
adema   build up of fluid under the skin  
🗑
ELISA   enzyme linked immunosorbent assays, simple test used to measure an antigen or antibody level within the blood  
🗑
histamine   chemical released during an allergic reaction  
🗑
hypersensitivity   increased reaction to allergens causing an allergic reaction  
🗑
immune system   responsible for keeping the body healthy and protecting an animal from disease  
🗑
immunity   term used to mean protection and begins at birth during the nursine process  
🗑
infection   the immune system's reponse to an abnormal condition  
🗑
inflammation   causes white blood cells to build up in the site that is affected and may cause pus to form, redness around the area, warm to hot skin temperatures, increased body core temperatures, edema, and pain  
🗑
intradermal (ID)   injection given into the layers of skin  
🗑
intramuscular (IM)   injection given into the muscle  
🗑
intranasal (IN)   given into the nasal cavity or nostrils  
🗑
intraocular   into the eyes  
🗑
killed vacine   manufactured from dead pathogens of a disease and placed into the animal's body in an inactive form  
🗑
modified live vaccine   made from altered antigens created from disease pathogens that place small amounts of a disease into an animal's body  
🗑
passive immunity   developed through antibodies acquired from one animal or source to another as in colostrum, formula, or plasma  
🗑
pathogen   disease  
🗑
plasma   contains natural immunity antibodies that may be given to the newborns in cases when the young have no received adequate amounts of colostrum  
🗑
primary response   provides antigens that need 3 to 14 days to build an immune response that beings producing antibodies  
🗑
secondary response   provide a quick repeated exposure to an antigen that creates an immunity to prevent disease development  
🗑
SNAP tes   test kit equipment that when mixed with blood is snapped to activate the test  
🗑
subcutaneous (SQ)   injection given under the skin  
🗑
vaccination   placed into the body to build up resistance in the immune system to disease  
🗑
