Active. Foreign microbes, or parts of microbes, are introduced to the body and the immune system reacts and produces antibodies.

Passive is when the antibodies are given directly to the person, such as from mother to child in pregnancy.
Can your body make antibodies for pathogens that your body has never been in contact with why or why not?
Our bodies do have the ability to make antibodies to something we never have had contact with. These are called natural antibodies. Natural antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes in the absence of external pathogen stimulation. With their ability to recognize between self and non-self, they comprise an important first-line defense. Any problem with this formation of natural antibodies, the body would begin to attack itself. This is seen in autoimmune disorders.

Why is the Rh factor important with a pregnancy?
if you are RH negative you need a shot to prevent your body from attacking your baby Re: If a woman is Rh negative, and she has a baby which is Rh positive, there will be no problem with the first pregnancy. But, due to some mixing of blood in the birthing process, the mother's blood will be exposed to the Rh antigens present on the baby's red blood cells. The mother's body will develop antibodies to the Rh factor after this, since it has recognized it as a foreign microbe. Then, if the mother has another baby that is Rh positive, the mother's antibodies may attack the babv's blood cells, causing agglutination of the baby's blood.
