The exam!
« on: June 12, 2012, 11:55:37 am »
Hi guys,

One of the questions on the exam talked about a two-month old baby and a 4-month old baby and asked which would have more anti-bodies.
Which one was it?
I said it was four but a few of my friends say two as they said that the question stated they had no previous vaccinations.

Fairly sure it was the 4 month old. If you have been immunized before then you would have more antibodies right?

4 month, the second time the kid is immunized he stimulates a much larger and faster response to the vaccine because of the memory cells from the first immunization which the other kid is just getting

I said the 4 month because it said that both the babys had followed the immunization pattern (2 months, 4 months.... year 10) thing :)

Yay!

What about the adults and the bacteria, was it that the bacteria had mutated and that was the reason why they were getting infected?

I said the memory cells for the infection were not getting continual stimulation therefore there immune system was responding to it like a new infection and to fix it I said continuing vaccines into adult hood

I wrote the antigens on the bacteria had changed shape or something.
Is that right?

I said that the memory cells and antibodies don't last forever and must have worn off

Would my response about the mutation be correct and then for the following question say that they should research a new vaccine and administer it?

The four month old, as its assumed after second vaccination on at four month will produce more antibodies as the memory cells provided a quicker response.
