If you mean the body is mounting an immune response to foreign antibodies, this can be a case of Type III Hypersensitivity (e.g. serum sickness).
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.
A form of acquired immunity resulting from antibodies that are transmitted naturally through the placenta to a fetus or through the colostrum to an infant or artificially by injection of antiserum for treatment or prophylaxis. Passive immunity is not permanent and does not last as long as active immunity.
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.
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.
Passive immunity is temporary because it involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from an external source, such as through breast milk or intravenous immunoglobulin. Since the recipient's immune system is not actively producing these antibodies, the protection provided is short-term and wanes as the transferred antibodies are broken down and eliminated from the body.
A source of passive immunity is when antibodies are transferred from one individual to another. This can occur naturally through breastfeeding or transplacentally from mother to fetus, or artificially through administration of pre-formed antibodies, such as in immune globulin injections.
Producing your own antibodies is Active Immunity because you are self acquiring the immunity. When immunity is passed from one person to another, such as from a mother her baby, it is called 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.
active immunity is the immunity that is stimulated internally as a a result of antibodies entering the body. Passive is stimulated by substances from an external source
Active immunity occurs when the body produces its own antibodies in response to an infection or vaccination, providing long-term protection. In contrast, passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as from mother to baby through breast milk or through antibody treatments, offering temporary protection. While active immunity develops over time and can last for years, passive immunity is immediate but short-lived, typically lasting only a few weeks to months.
Passive immunity
passive immunity
Passive immunity involves the bodies defenses which do not change for different types of microbes. This would be like Natural Killer B cells which attack a wide variety of microbes. Active immunity involves your body becoming acclimated toward a bacteria or virus, such that future contact will spur on a triggered response. An example of this would be the production of antibodies.
A form of acquired immunity resulting from antibodies that are transmitted naturally through the placenta to a fetus or through the colostrum to an infant or artificially by injection of antiserum for treatment or prophylaxis. Passive immunity is not permanent and does not last as long as active immunity.
Receiving antivenom after a snake bite would be an example of passive immunity, where antibodies are transferred from another source (in this case, the antivenom) to provide immediate protection against the venom.
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.
Both active and passive immunity provide protection against infections and diseases by enabling the body to recognize and respond to pathogens. They involve the immune system's production of antibodies, although active immunity results from the body's own immune response to an infection or vaccination, while passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as maternal antibodies or intravenous immunoglobulin. Additionally, both types can help prevent illness and can be crucial in providing immediate or long-term protection.
