2. artificially acquired active immunity: Immunity developed after
exposure to a pathogen (i.e. live animal)
Examples: rabies and tetanus shot
3. Active immunity: Exposure to disease or through vaccination. Usually
lasts for a long period.
Body creates antibodies by the immune system to that antigen (natural
immunity) Vaccination is introduced in a weakened or killed form of the
disease into the body (vaccine-induced immunity)
4. Passive immunity: receives antibodies from someone else rather than
producing them through their own immune system. Protection is
immediate but lasts for a short period (weeks to months)
Example: passing antibodies from mother to the fetus via placenta or
breast milk; administering blood product; immunoglobulins
5. Difference between antibodies and antigens: Antibodies = good, fight
invaders Antigens = bad, attack cells
