What type of immunity produces antibodies?
specific immunity
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.
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 are 2 examples of nonspecific immunity and how do they work?
tears and mucus
What kind of immunity depends upon the production of disease specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria?
humoral immunity
What are the difference between antiviral immunity and anti bacterial immunity?
Antiviral immunity targets viruses by recognizing viral antigens and activating immune responses specific to viral infections. Antibacterial immunity targets bacteria by recognizing bacterial antigens and activating immune responses specific to bacterial infections. The mechanisms of immune cell activation, the types of cells involved, and the specific responses generated differ between antiviral and antibacterial immunity.
What is the source of passive immunity?
Passive immunity can be given naturaly or artificially.Natural Passive Immunity can be acquired from the maternal colustrum and maternal placenta.While artificial passive immunity is given parenteraly examples are: anti tetanus serum and antivenin.
Process of immunity?
The process of immunity is to produce specific antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens. =]
What type of immunity provides lifetime protection for the body against a specific pathogen?
Active immunity
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.
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
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
