Explain passive humoral immunity and give in your response?

Passive humoral immunity is the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from one individual to another. This can occur naturally, such as when a newborn receives antibodies from their mother through breastfeeding, or artificially through the administration of antibody-containing products like immunoglobulin injections. Passive immunity provides immediate protection but is temporary because the transferred antibodies eventually degrade in the recipient's body.


The T cells are responsible for 1 humoral immunity 2 cell-mediated immunity 3 generalized immune response 4 allergies?

Cell-mediated immunity. T cells play a key role in cell-mediated immunity by directly attacking infected cells or coordinating the immune response.


Immune response in which b cells transform into plasma cells secret anti bodies?

This process is known as antibody production or humoral immune response. B cells are activated by antigens, differentiate into plasma cells, and secrete antibodies to target and neutralize specific pathogens. This response is important for the body's ability to defend against infections and develop immunity.


What function do T cells have in humoral immunity?

T cells play a role in humoral immunity by helping B cells to produce antibodies. They do this by releasing cytokines that stimulate B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and memory B cells. T cells are also involved in regulating the strength and specificity of the antibody response.


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.

Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?

Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen.
