Textbook Question
Chapter 23.L2, Problem 14CT
In New York City, four Orthodox Jewish patients brought into an emergency clinic with seizures and other neurological symptoms tested positive for antibodies to the pork tapeworm. Taenia solium. This was embarrassing to them because they do not eat pork for religious reasons. It also became something of a medical mystery, because there were no immediate explanations for how they could have become infected. Later it was shown that the patients had recently employed housekeepers and cooks who were free of symptoms yet also seropositive for the worm infection. Use this case history to give a plausible explanation for the transmission of the infection.

Even though the oral polio vaccine is not used in the developed world, it is still widely used in the developing world, in part because it confers what might be called “accidental” herd immunity. Can you speculate on what this is?
Why does an inactivated vaccine induce only a humoral response, whereas an attenuated vaccine induces both humoral and cell-mediated responses?
A mother has two children. The first was born perfectly healthy while the second one was born with rashes, showed clumping and lysis of blood. Based upon this information how would you classify this disorder? What type of antibody-antigen interaction is this and why? Explain how this disorder arises.

Also, the ideal candidate vaccine should also provide long-lasting immunity to the infection. The figure below shows the responses to a primary, followed by a secondary immunization to each of the two candidate vaccines. a) Which candidate vaccine elicits the preferred response? What are the three aspects of the preferred response that make it the candidate vaccine of choice? b) What is the likely composition of each vaccine and what evidence from the information above are used to lead to your conclusions? c) To confirm the choice of the preferred candidate vaccine, what type of additional information from the vaccine trials in mice shown above would support this conclusion?
