Vaccine I
Vaccine I (vaccinum; Latin vaccinus - cow) is a preparation made from killed cultures of microorganisms or live attenuated (weakened) strains, their antigens or toxins, intended for active immunization of humans and animals.
Vaccine types:
- Adsorbed (adsorptum) - antigens of which are absorbed on substances that increase and lengthen antigenic irritation;
- Antirabicum (antirabicum; Greek anti - against + Latin rabies - rabies) - obtained from a strain of a fixed rabies virus in cell culture or in a suspension of animal brain tissue, and used to prevent damage in persons bitten (salivated) by rabies sick animals or suspected of the disease;
- Associated (associatum; synonyms: polyvaccine, complex vaccine, combined vaccine) - a drug that includes several vaccines of various types, used for simultaneous immunization against several infectious diseases;
- Live (vivum) - which contains viable strains of a pathogenic microorganism that have fully retained their antigenic properties, but weakened to a degree that excludes the appearance of a disease, leading to the development of specific immunity in the vaccinated;
- Polyvalent (polyvalens; Greek poly- - many + Latin valens, valentis - strong) - made on the basis of several serological varieties of the causative agent of one infectious disease;
- Killed (v. Inactivatum) - obtained from microorganisms that have been inactivated (killed) by exposure to chemical or physical factors;
- Phenolized (phenolatum) - a killed vaccine produced from microorganisms inactivated by phenol;
- Formalinized (formalinatum; synonym: formolvaccine) - killed vaccine obtained from formalin-inactivated microorganisms;
- Chemical (chemicum) - containing specific antigens, extracted from microorganisms, and released from ballast substances;
- Embryonic (embryonale) - made from rickettsia or viruses that were grown on embryos of birds (quail, chickens);
- Eterized (aetherisatum) - killed vaccine obtained from ether-inactivated microorganisms.
