Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Injections of gamma globulin provide artificially acquired passive immunity. This is because the gamma globulin contains pre-formed antibodies from another individual or group of individuals, which are then transferred to the recipient's body to provide a temporary immunity. This type of immunity is passive because the antibodies are not produced by the recipient's own immune system, but rather transferred from an external source.
