Active immunity is of two kinds:

Natural active immunity: This is acquired when a pathogen enters the body and immune response occurs. This is stored by the memory cells and eliminates the pathogen for the second time as soon as it enters the body.

Acquired active immunity: This artificial and it is induced through a artificial source like vaccines.

What are four types of immunity?

The four types of immunity are innate immunity, adaptive immunity, passive immunity, and active immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense, providing immediate but non-specific protection against pathogens. Adaptive immunity develops over time and involves a specific response to pathogens, including the production of antibodies. Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another, such as from mother to child, while active immunity refers to the immune system's response to a vaccine or infection, leading to long-lasting immunity.

How do you obtain passive immunity?

Passive immunity is the transfer of active humoral immunity in the form of readymade antibodies, from one individual to another. Passiveimmunity can occur naturally, when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus through the placenta, and can also be induced artificially, when high levels of human (or horse) antibodies specific for a pathogen or toxin are transferred to non-immune individuals. Passive immunization is used when there is a high risk of infection and insufficient time for the body to develop its own immune response, or to reduce the symptoms of ongoing or immunosuppressive diseases.


What is meant by the term adverse selection?

The term Adverse Selection is also known as Anti-Selection and Negative Selection. Adverse Selection is a term referring to a market process when undesired results happen when buyers and sellers have access to different information.

What results in more long lasting immunity natural active or artificial active?

Natural active immunity typically results in longer lasting immunity compared to artificial active immunity. This is because natural exposure to a pathogen triggers a stronger and more diverse immune response, leading to the development of memory cells that can provide long-term protection against future infections.

How are different active and passive?

Active immunity is generated by your body. So you get active immunity as a result of infections or due to vaccines. Passive immunity is not generated by your body. Here the antibodies are to be supplied. Child gets the antibodies from mother. Alternately you get the antibodies via injections. The effect of active immunity is long lasting. The effect of passive immunity is short lived. So the active immunity is considered as better. The passive immunity has one advantage. It is available with immediate effect, while it takes about two to three weeks, before the effects of active immunity is available.
