gamma globulin are the antibodies which provide natural active acquired immunity produced by B plasma cells.
How are natural acquired immunity and artificial acquired immunity alike?
Natural acquired immunity is when your body already knows how to defend against certain antigens and germs. Artificial acquired immunity is provided in shots to the body when we are babys. These shots contain inactive or a weakened antigen or germ in order to allow are body to produce an anti-body to defend against them if we were to get infected in the future. This makes them alike because the way of defending against the antigens are the same. The only difference is that in artificial immunity are bodys are introduced to a foreign antibody in order for our body to "learn" to defend against it.
Cell-mediated immunity is provided by?
T cells
How can antibodies be transferred from a woman to a fetus and a baby?
As found in Wikipedia Maternal passive immunity is a type of naturally acquired passive immunity, and refers to antibody-mediated immunity conveyed to a fetus by its mother during pregnancy. Maternal antibodies (MatAb) are passed through the placenta to the fetus by an FcRn receptor on placental cells. This occurs around the third month of gestation.[2] Immunoglobulin G is the only antibody isotype that can pass through the placenta.[2] Immunization is often required shortly following birth to prevent diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, polio, and pertussis, however, maternal antibodies can inhibit the induction of protective vaccine responses throughout the first year of life. This effect is usually overcome by secondary responses to booster immunization.[3] Passive immunity is also provided through the transfer of IgA antibodies found in breast milk that are transferred to the gut of the infant, protecting against bacterial infections, until the newborn can synthesize its own antibodies.[4] The Maternal Antibodies transferred have a half-life of approximately 14 days, and thus only have an effect for the first months.
Why do babies need vaccinations?
It is important to give children vaccines because in the womb babies receive special proteins called antibodies from their mother that help fight many serious illnesses but after his birth immunity gradually disappears and the baby needs outside protection against illnesses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Babies that are breastfed from the beginning continue receiving antibodies from the mother (especially while she is still producing colostrum) that protect against the disease organisms she has been exposed to (or been vaccinated for) and developed immunity against. But vaccinations allow the baby to make its own antibodies without having to actually catch the disease, and these antibodies will last long after any provided from the mother have degraded and been lost..

A drug user may receive immunity for his drug charges in return for testifying against the person who provided the drugs. A phone company may be given immunity by a tyrannical despot for providing millions of private phone records unlawfully to the government.
Why antibody is absent in ab blood group?
AB blood does not have any A or B antibodies. If it did, then the antibodies would bind to the A and B antigens found on its own blood cells and clot. A person with this blood type can still have antibodies (such as antibodies to the Rh factor). AB blood types are considered "universal acceptors" because they can take any blood type in a transfusion, provided the Rh factor is the same.
What is the earliest age a pup can get parvo?
Theoretically, a puppy can become infected with parvovirus immediately after birth. However, provided the mother is properly vaccinated, the antibodies in her colostrum will protect the puppies until they are about to be weaned, approximately 8-12 weeks old. This is why most cases of parvo in puppies is seen in those just weaned and out exploring the world - they haven't completed the full series of puppy vaccines and maternal immunity is waning.
