Marker vaccine, the Glossary

Index Marker vaccine

A marker vaccine is a vaccine which allows for immunological differentiation (or segregation) of infected from vaccinated animals, and is also referred to as a DIVA (or SIVA) vaccine in veterinary medicine.[1]

Antibody

An antibody (Ab) is the secreted form of a B cell receptor; the term immunoglobulin (Ig) can refer to either the membrane-bound form or the secreted form of the B cell receptor, but they are, broadly speaking, the same protein, and so the terms are often treated as synonymous.

See Marker vaccine and Antibody

Antigen

In immunology, an antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety, foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a specific antibody or T-cell receptor.

See Marker vaccine and Antigen

Attenuated vaccine

An attenuated vaccine (or a live attenuated vaccine, LAV) is a vaccine created by reducing the virulence of a pathogen, but still keeping it viable (or "live"). Marker vaccine and attenuated vaccine are Vaccination.

See Marker vaccine and Attenuated vaccine

Contagious disease

A contagious disease is an infectious disease that is readily spread (that is, communicated) by transmission of a pathogen through contact (direct or indirect) with an infected person.

See Marker vaccine and Contagious disease

Efficacy

Efficacy is the ability to perform a task to a satisfactory or expected degree.

See Marker vaccine and Efficacy

Inactivated vaccine

An inactivated vaccine (or killed vaccine) is a vaccine consisting of virus particles, bacteria, or other pathogens that have been grown in culture and then killed to destroy disease-producing capacity.

See Marker vaccine and Inactivated vaccine

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος, "suffering", "passion" and -γενής, "producer of"), in the oldest and broadest sense, is any organism or agent that can produce disease.

See Marker vaccine and Pathogen

Safety

Safety is the state of being "safe", the condition of being protected from harm or other danger.

See Marker vaccine and Safety

Serology

Serology is the scientific study of serum and other body fluids.

See Marker vaccine and Serology

Vaccine

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious or malignant disease.

See Marker vaccine and Vaccine

Veterinary medicine

Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, management, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, disorder, and injury in non-human animals.

See Marker vaccine and Veterinary medicine

Viral disease

A viral disease (or viral infection) occurs when an organism's body is invaded by pathogenic viruses, and infectious virus particles (virions) attach to and enter susceptible cells.
