During passive transfer of immunoglobulins from mother to neonate, early absorption during the first 24 hours after birth is crucial. What is the reason for this urgency?

The neonate is most susceptible to infection during this time

The mother only produces vital antibodies for the first 24 hours after parturition

Best antibody absorption in the neonate occurs during the first 24 hours of life via gut absorption, after 24 hours, "gut closure" occurs

The neonate will suckle the most volume during its first 24 hours of life

Which of the following could result after contraction of a disease in the early fetus (1st trimester)?

Nothing, early contraction gives the fetus the best chance for survival

Early contraction will allow the fetus to be born with antibodies from the contracted antigen

The fetus will develop immune tolerance to the contracted antigen, once born will have persistent infection.

The fetus will be born with severe malformations, but be immune to the contracted antigen

You are teaching a seminar about natural vs artificial immunity. As you discuss transplacental immunity, it seems like lots of students are confused why horses, cows, pigs, and sheep have a different outcome than the dog and cat. What is the best statement to clear up this confusion?

Dogs and cats have hemochorial placentation, which transfers IgM across the placenta. Horse, cows, pigs, and sheep have epitheliochorial placentation which results in the transfer of IgG across the placenta.

Dogs and cats have hemochorial placentation, which transfers IgG across the placenta. Horse, cows, pigs, and sheep have epitheliochorial placentation which results in the transfer of IgG across the placenta

Dogs and cats have endotheliochorial placentation, which transfers IgG across the placenta. Horse, cows, pigs, and sheep have epitheliochorial placentation which results in the transfer of IgG across the placenta.

Dogs and cats have endotheliochorial placentation, which transfers IgG across the placenta. Horse, cows, pigs, and sheep have epitheliochorial placentation which results in no transfer of antibodies.

Dogs and cats have epitheliochorial placentation, which transfers IgG across the placenta. Horse, cows, pigs, and sheep have epitheliochorial placentation which results in transfer of IgM across colostrum.

Candice, is a poor cow with mastitis who just gave birth to multiple calfs. You are worried about failure of passive transfer (FPT) which results in _____________________________. You know FPT Treatment is time sensitive. How would you plan treatment for failure of passive transfer (FPT)?

Inadequate transfer of acquired immunoglobulin to the neonate Treat with IV serum or plasma in the first 24 hours Treat with oral colostrum after 24 hours

Inadequate transfer of plasma proteins to the neonate Treat with oral colostrum in the first 24 hours Treat with IV serum or plasma after 24 hours

Inadequate transfer of colostral immunoglobulin to the neonate; Treat with oral colostrum in the first 24 hours Treat with IV serum or plasma after 24 hours

Inadequate transfer of transplacental immunoglobulin to the neonate Treat with IV serum or plasma in the first 24 hours Treat with oral colostrum after 24 hours

Inadequate transfer of artificial immunoglobulins to the neonate Treat with IV serum or plasma in the first 24 hours Treat with oral colostrum after 24 hours

After a mare has given birth, it is important for her foal to feed within the first 6 hours and take in her colostrum. Which of the following are an explanation as to why it is important to take in colostrum so quickly?

Colostrum is not produced after 6 hours

FcR receptors needed for antibody uptake begin to become replaced with epithelium

The neonatal immune system is non-functional for 6 hours after birth

The mother will reject the foal if it does not feed

Horses do not have colostral antibodies
