Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunization is the deliberate induction of an antibody-mediated immune response against a specific pathogen, achieved through the administration of a vaccine. Exposure refers to coming in contact with a pathogen in the natural environment, which may or may not induce an immune response. Agglutination is a process in which antibodies bind to and clump together antigens, but it is not a procedure for inducing an immune response. NK cell activation and T cell activation are both mechanisms of cell-mediated immunity, not antibody-mediated immunity.
