Most vaccinations attempt to provide immunity by exposing you to a(n)
What is a pathogen (antigen)?
100
A close relative (not as harmful) of the pathogen that will stimulate the same immune response (i.e. smallpox)
What is a similar pathogen?
100
The process where a new, circular DNA molecule is made from two different sources is called this.
What is recombinant DNA?
100
This person tracks how disease are spread in a population, designs treatment for diseases, and creates prevention strategies for diseases.
What is an epidemiologist?
100
How many cats does Mr. Parker have. 100 extra points for each of their names.
What is 2
Who are Midnight and Dawn
200
When your immune system identifies a foreign substance, what molecule is made by your b-cells to help fight it off?
What are antibodies?
200
Alter the pathogen by changing its growing environment; patient will get a weakened version to stimulate the immune system.
What is a Live, attenuated vaccine?
200
The molecular "scissors" that cut DNA at specific sequences.
What are restriction enzymes?
200
Based on the given data, what needs to be calculated to pinpoint the source of illness?
What is the specific attack rate?
200
The two degrees that Mr. Parker holds. (both for points)
What are Biology and Secondary Education
300
Vaccines work by activating which body system? (Be specific)
What is the adaptive immune system?
300
Inactivate the pathogen using heat, radiation or chemical (i.e. inactivated polio)
What is a killed vaccine?
300
The molecular "glue" that is used to insert the gene of interest into the plasmid.
What is DNA ligase?
300
In this type of study involves two groups of subjects, one with a particular condition or symptom and one without. Then they track back to determine an attribute or exposure that could have caused the illness. Also called a retrospective study.
What is a case-control study?
300
This is my favorite person in the world.
Who is Brother
400
Unvaccinated people living where vaccines are mandatory have a low chance to get a disease due to this.
What is herd immunity?
400
Grow bacteria and collect the poison it makes; neutralize the poison and pathogen, add adjuvants to heighten the immune response (i.e. tetanus).
What is a toxiod vaccine?
400
Bacteria can take in a recombinant DNA plasmid through this mechanism of gene transfer.
What is transformation?
400
This type of study involves the selection of a group of people sharing a certain characteristic or treatment, and compares them over time to a group of people who do not have this characteristic or treatment. Also called a prospective study.
What is a cohort study?
400
Mr. Parker's favorite genre of music
What is pop punk or Midwest emo
500
These two cells target pathogens
What are B-cells T-cells
500
Clone a gene for the pathogen into a plasmid; yeast or bacteria copy the plasmid; purify and inject plasmid DNA into the patient.
What is a naked DNA vaccine?
500
Examine the plasmid and viral DNA below. Which restriction enzyme would be best to use to make recombinant DNA?
What is EcoR1 or AluI
500
This shows the frequency of new cases over time based on the date of onset of disease. The shape of it in relation to the incubation period for a particular disease can give clues about the source.
What is an epidemic curve?
500
This is what Mr. Parker used to do before teaching high school
