a traditional method of providing temporary immunity for a person who is suspected of being infected with rabies (usually due to an animal bite) is classified as
multiple choice
passive artificial immunity
active artificial immunity
passive active immunity
passive natural immunity
active natural immunity
Passive artificial immunity involves the injection of pre - formed antibodies (such as in the case of rabies post - exposure, where antibodies against the rabies virus are given). Active immunity (both artificial and natural) involves the body's own immune system producing antibodies after exposure to an antigen (either through a vaccine - artificial or through natural infection - natural). The term "passive active immunity" is not a standard immunological term. Passive natural immunity occurs, for example, when a mother passes antibodies to her baby through the placenta or breast milk.
