Active immunity is long term protection that generally lasts 20-30 years and passive immunity is immediate protection. there are two forms, naturally acquired and artificially acquired. in active immunity the naturally acquired immunity is when you suffer from the disease then recover again. the artificially acquired way is by getting a vaccination. in passive immunity, the naturally acquired way is to receive antibodies from mother in pregnancy and breastfeeding, the artificial way is to have antibodies injected in a serum for immediate response for example when you have been bitten by a poisonous animal. note they are not vaccinated.

The mother's breast milk provides passive natural immunity to the baby. This means that the baby receives antibodies from the mother through the breast milk, offering temporary immunity protection until the baby's immune system is more developed.


Passive immunity is different from active immunity because passive immunity?

is temporary and does not involve the individual’s immune system producing antibodies. Instead, passive immunity provides ready-made antibodies obtained from another source, such as through injection of antibodies or transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus.


Compare and contrast active and passive immunity and give a rea life example?

Active immunity is when a person in a trial says they do not want to testify because their truthfulness might incriminate them. Passive immunity is when an order might be handed down by an elected official that says a certain group of people will not be responsible for upholding a certain law. Amnesty laws are a type of passive immunity.


A major difference between active and passive immunity is that active immunity requires?

Active immunity requires exposure to the antigen, either naturally or artificially, in order for the immune system to build antibodies against it. Passive immunity does not require exposure to the antigen because the antibodies are obtained either naturally, through mother's milk, or artificially through an injection of a serum, such as that is used in antivenom for snake bites.

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.
