It is crucial for a young body to receive antibodies from its mother because these antibodies provide essential protection against infections and diseases during the early months of life. Maternal antibodies, transferred through the placenta during pregnancy and through breast milk after birth, help to bolster the infant's immune system until it can produce its own antibodies. This early immunity is vital for reducing the risk of illness and supporting healthy development. Additionally, maternal antibodies can help the infant respond more effectively to vaccinations as they grow.

How does your body protect from us from germs and injury when you are born?
Mostly from antibodies supplied in the mother's milk. This is a major reason breast feeding is important to a young baby's health.
When a person receives a flu vaccination does he develop active or passive immunity?
Active. Foreign microbes, or parts of microbes, are introduced to the body and the immune system reacts and produces antibodies. The antibodies were made in reaction to a foreign body introduced into the body, so it's active. 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.

How does a fetus obtain preformed antibodies?
A fetus will start producing IgM antibodies about 20 weeks into the pregnancy. The only antibody the fetus receives from it's mother is IgG which the baby will not start producing on its own until a few months after birth.
What is the difference between vaccine and antibodies?
Salman Khaliq Bajwa from PAF-KIET damigo88@live.com The difference between antibodies and vaccines are; 1. Antibodies are micro organisms in our body for our defense. Vaccines are diluted living or dead antigens. 2. Antibodies are natural. Vaccines are artificial, 3. Antibodies kill the bacteria, viruses and toxic substances in our body. Vaccines does not kill but it actually activates the antibodies in our body.
