Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Artificial passive immunity is acquired when an individual receives an injection of serum containing antibodies from another person, or animal such as a horse or pig. The effect is temporary because the body has not actively developed the mechanism to replace the injected antibodies that will eventually be used up. This type of immunity is used for the emergency treatment of tetanus, rabies, and snakebites.
