∙ 13y agoA great example would be a vaccine. It exposes the body to a foreign, yet non-virulent factor that induces an immune response and forms memory (through antibodies, memory B and T cells). When this foreign substance is encountered again, the body has built up a defense that will quickly set in and fight the invader.

∙ 13y agoAn example of active immunity is the oral polio vaccine because it's a live attenuated vaccine. It means that, weakened polio virus will be given to you so that your body can form antibodies from it and can fight the virus. If your body itself made the antibody from an antigen, it's an example of an active immunity.

∙ 9y agoThe best example of a primary immune response is when the immune system initially responds to a virus or bacteria. It creates a memory cell that will make you sick.

What type of immunity produces antibodies?
specific immunity
What are the two components of specific immunity?
Humoral Immunity- acquired immunity in which the role of circulating antibodies is predominant. Natural Immunity- the resistance of the normal animal to infection
What kind of immunity depends upon the production of disease specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria?
humoral immunity
What type of immunity provides lifetime protection for the body against a specific pathogen?
Active immunity
Process of immunity?
The process of immunity is to produce specific antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens. =]
What is major difference between specfic and non specfic immunity?
Specific immunity follows a non-specific response. The major difference between specific and non-specific is the ability to remember pathogenic antigens. Specific immunity results in the production of memory cells which upon reinfection are used to effectivly remove the pathogen Non-specific cannot do this
Are vaccinations examples of natural passive immunity?
No, vaccinations are examples of artificial passive immunity. Natural passive immunity is passed from mother to infant either through breastmilk, or while the fetus is in utero with the transfer of antibodies from the mother through the placenta.
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
What immunity depends upon the production of disease-specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria.?
humoral immunity
What are 2 examples of nonspecific immunity and how do they work?
tears and mucus
What is part of your body's specific immunity defense?
antibodies
Why is acquired immunity never absolute?
Things adapt, whereas the aquired immunity was only created for a specific strain.
