Explanation
Oral vs. Injected Vaccines for TB
Steps:
- Identify that oral vaccines target gut pathogens and survive stomach acid, like polio vaccine.
- Note TB vaccine (BCG) is injected intradermally to mimic respiratory infection in lungs.
- Recall statements likely include: 1) acid stability, 2) site-specific immunity, 3) bacterial survival.
- Determine only statement 2 explains TB's injection need due to lung targeting.
Why D is correct:
- Statement 2 ties to immunology principle: vaccines must match infection route for mucosal immunity in respiratory tract.
Why the others are wrong:
- A includes irrelevant statements 1 and 3.
- B adds incorrect statement 1 on acid stability.
- C adds incorrect statement 3 on bacterial factors.
Not enough information on exact statements, but D fits standard TB vaccine rationale.
Final answer: D
Topic: Antibodies and vaccination
