The document discusses immunity and principles of vaccination. It covers innate immunity, which is non-specific and present from birth, and adaptive immunity, which is acquired after exposure and leads to immunological memory. Vaccination works by exposing individuals to weakened or killed pathogens to artificially increase immunity. The goals of vaccination are to provide protective immunity through memory responses and to ultimately eradicate diseases. Vaccines can provide active immunity by inducing antibody or cellular responses, or passive immunity by administering preformed antibodies.
A vaccine is a biological agent that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine usually contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism. It is often made from killed or weakened forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. Body's immune system is stimulated to recognize the agent as a threat and destroy it, and any of these microorganisms that it later encounters.

David Haselwood - Vaccines provide immunity that protects you from disease without the risk of the infection. It contains a small amount of the germs or parts of the germs that cause disease. The germs in vaccines are either killed or weakened so they can't make you sick. Therefore, vaccination plays an important role in one’s health. #DavidHaselwood

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. ( Non specific , Natural ) ( Specific, Aquired )
• General Barriers
• Physical barriers
• Chemical barriers
• Biological barriers
• Active
• Passive
• Adoptive
4. Innate Immunity
• Present from birth in all individuals.
• Once activated the same mechanism occurs regardless
of which challenge is encountered or previous exposure.
• Immediate response.
5. Innate Immunity - General Barriers
• Direct Factors
Nutrition.
Acute phase reactants.
Fever.
Age.
Genetics.
Race.
• Indirect Factors
Personal hygiene.
Socioeconomic status.
Living conditions.
7. Adaptive Immunity
• Immunity which is acquired or developed by an individual
only after a specific challenge is encountered.
• The resulting adaptive immune products are effective only
against the specific challenge.
• Immunologic memory in adaptive immunity provides
greater efficiency should there be subsequent exposure to
the same challenge.
• There is a time lag for development of adaptive immunity
but secondary response is almost immediate.
8. Characteristics of Adaptive Immunity
• In recent years, with increased knowledge of the molecular
processes underlying the function of cells, it has become
possible to explain at a cellular and molecular level the
features that are the hallmark of acquired immune
responses.
Specificity and diversity.
Memory.
Regulation.
Self / non-self discrimination.
• The acquire immune processes that lead to the elimination
of foreign material involve the concerted efforts of a number
of different cells and molecules and can be divided into
three stages.
Recognition stage.
Activation stage.
Effector stage.
9. Classification of Adaptive Immunity
• The two major arms of effective specific immunity are
humoral immunity and cell mediated immunity. While
historically these are quite distinct, current knowledge
suggests that each time adaptive immunity is activated,
both arms are activated. It becomes a matter of the degree
to which each arm is activated.
• Adaptive immunity may be classified based on the host’s
role in developing the adaptive specific immunity.
Active immunity is generated when an immunocompetent host is
exposed to the foreign challenge and the host’s native immune cells
respond by generating specific immune products.
Passive immunity is bestowed to the host when preformed immune
products are administered to the host.
In adoptive immunity, immunocompetent cells are transplanted to an
immunoincompetent host to restore the immune system.
10. Antibody
• An antibody is a protein that
is produced by lymphocytes
(type of white blood cell) in
response to the presence of a
specific antigen.
• Specific antibodies bind
to specific antigens
and cause their destruction.
Antibody

12. Vaccination
• You can become immune to a disease through vaccination.
• Immunization programmes and the
development of new vaccines play
an important role in protecting
individuals against illness.
• Vaccination works by safely
exposing individuals to a specific
pathogenic microbe, artificially
increasing their immunity
to it.
Vaccination
13. Vaccination
Vaccines are made from:
• Live micro-organisms that have been
‘treated’ so that they are weakened
(attenuated) and are unable to cause
disease.
• Dead micro-organisms.
• Some part or product of the
micro-organism that can produce an
immune response.
Vaccine production.
14. Principles of Vaccination
• The primary goal in vaccination is to provide protective
immunity by inducing a memory response to an infectious
microorganism using a non-toxic antigen preparation. It is
important to produce immunity of the appropriate kind:
antibody / or cellular immunity.
• Antibodies produced as a result of immunization are
effective primarily against extracellular organisms and their
products e.g., toxins. Passively administered antibodies
have the same effect as induced antibodies.
• Cell-mediated immunity (T cells, macrophages) induced by
vaccination is important particulary in preventing
intracellular bacterial and viral infections and fungal
infections.
• The ultimate goal of any immunization program is the
eradication of the disease.
• This requires that the infection is limited only to humans,
with no animal or environmental reservoir, and the absence
of any subclinical or carrier state in humans.
15. Principles of Vaccination
• Achieving elimination requires a high level of herd immunity
to prevent person to person spread.
• This requires considerable infrastructure support to ensure
that all at-risk populations are targeted for immunization.
• This has been achieved for small pox, although we are
close to the elimination of polio.

18. Passive Immunization
• Passive immunization is the administration of preformed
antibodies either intravenously or intramuscularly.
• It is used to provide rapid protection in certain infections
such as diptheria or tetanus or in the event of accidental
exposure to certain pathogens such as hepatitis B.
• It is also used to provide protection in immune compromised
individuals.
19. Passive Immunization
Infection Source of Antiserum Indications
Tetanus Immune human; horse Post exposure (plus vaccine)
Diptheria Horse Post-exposure
Gas gangrene Horse Post-exposure
Botulism Horse Post-exposure
Varicella-Zoster Immune human Post-exposure in immunodeficiency
Rabies Immune human Post exposure (plus vaccine)
Hepatitis B Immune human Post-exposure prophylaxis
Hepatitis A Pooled human Ig Prophylaxis
Measles Immune human Prophylaxis
Snakebite Horse Post-bite
Some autoimmune disease Pooled human ig Acute thrombocytopenia and
neutropenia
20. Active Immunization
• Active immunization is the administration of vaccines
containing microbial products with or without adjuvants in
order to obtain long term immunological protection against
the offending microbe.
• At present the normal route of vaccination in most instances
is either intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
• Oral immunization is the method of choice for polio and
Salmonella typhi vaccines. However, there is an increasing
awareness that this route of immunization may be the best
for most immunizations since nearly all infectious agents
gain entrance through the mucosal surfaces.
21. Antigen Preparations
• Protection against pathogenic microorganisms require the
generation of effective immune mechanisms.
• Thus, vaccines must be capable of targeting the immune
system appropriately i.e. cellular / or humoral mechanisms.
• Most vaccines consist of either attenuated organisms, killed
organisms, inactivated toxins, or subcellular fragments and
more recently genes for antigens in viral ‘vectors’, and DNA
itself.
22. Antigen Preparations Used in Vaccines
Type of antigen Examples
Viruses Bacteria
Normal heterologous organism Vaccinia (Cowpox)
Living attenuated organism Measles BCG
Mumps Typhoid (New)
Rubella
Polio (Sabin)
Yellow fever
Varicella-Zoster
Whole killed oranism Rabies Pertussis
Poli (Salk) Typhoid
Influenza Cholera
Subcellular fragment
Inactivated toxin (toxoid) Diphtheria
Tetanus
Cholera (New)
Capsular polysaccharide Meningococcus
Pneumococcus
Haemophilus
Typhoid (New)
Surface antigen Hepatitis B
23. Adjuvants
• Nonliving vaccines, especially those consisting of small
molecules require the inclusion of agents to enhance their
effectiveness.
• These adjuvants include microbial, synthetic and
endogenous preparations having adjuvant activity, but at
present only aluminium or calcium salts are generally used
in humans.
• Adjuvants should enable antigens to be slowly released,
preserve antigen integrity, target antigen presenting cells
and induce cytotoxic lymphocytes.
24. Tumor Vaccines
• Vaccination strategies against cancer are currently being
investigated.
• Vaccines containing tumor antigens such as those
associated with prostate cancer (prostate specific antigens)
as well as those associated with the breast, colon, and
ovarian cancers such as HER2 / neu offer hope for the
future.
26. Obstacles to Development of HIV Vaccine
• Genomic diversity of HIV strains.
• Progression of infection despite vigorous immune response.
Transmission of HIV in vivo by cell fusion as well as by cell-free
virus.
• Lack of good animal model.
• Potential enhancement of HIV replication by neutralizing
antibody.
