Multiple Choice

Edward Jenner succeeded in creating a vaccine against smallpox by injecting patients with material of which disease?

• smallpox

• cowpox

• cattle virus

• measles virus

Multiple Choice

What is the function of innate immune response?

• Act very rapid as a first line of defense to eliminate the infection

• Act very rapid as a first line of defense to eliminate the infection

• Coordinate and support adaptive immunity

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

What is the main advantage of live attenuated vaccine?

• It provides more durable immunity; boosters may be required, though less frequently than would otherwise be necessary

• It is safer than other kinds of vaccines

• It does not cause any severe side effects or complications

• It is suitable for people with any type of health

Multiple Choice

Since we have our immune system to protect us from disease, why do we still need a vaccine?

• Because some diseases are too severe for our immune system

• Because adaptive immunity takes days to weeks to initiate a response and sometimes it is too late

• Because some people are immune deficient or have weak immune systems

• All of the above

Multiple Choice

True or False? The mRNA lipid nanoparticles can reach the cell nucleus and become part of a person's DNA.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

The mRNA lipid nanoparticles are made of what core materials?

• sugar, salts, mRNA sequence, lipids

• butter, sugar, salts, mRNA sequence

• sugar, salts, DNA sequence, lipids

• carbon, lipids, mRNA sequence, sugar

Multiple Choice

Which organelle in the cell is responsible for transcribing mRNA into protein?

• golgi apparatus

• mitochondria

• ribosome

• lysosome

Multiple Choice

In the mRNA vaccine, the mRNA sequence representing only a small fragment of the SARS-CoV-2 protein is delivered to cells. This fragment when translated into a protein is harmless but sufficient to be recognized by your immune system. Which protein is it?

• envelope protein

• ACE2 receptor

• football protein

• spike protein

Multiple Choice

Activating the immune response can be taxing on the body. Which is NOT an expected side effect after receiving an mRNA vaccine?

• brief fatigue

• fever

• upset stomach and vomiting

• muscle soreness
