Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural active immunity occurs when the body produces its own antibodies after exposure to a pathogen, as in the case of a person who had the chickenpox as a child and does not get it again upon re-exposure. This immunity is long-lasting, as the immune system "remembers" how to fight the pathogen. Artificial active immunity, on the other hand, is acquired through vaccination, and involves the body producing its own antibodies in response to a weakened or dead pathogen in the vaccine. Natural passive immunity occurs when a baby acquires antibodies from their mother during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and artificial passive immunity involves the injection of pre-made antibodies (such as for a snake venom or rabies bite). None of these options describe the scenario given.
