question 69
which is the transfer of antibodies to an individual without requiring them to mount their own active immune response?
primary adaptive response
active immunity
immunological memory
passive immunity
Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies (such as from mother to fetus via the placenta or through breastfeeding, or via injection of antibody - containing serum). It provides immediate protection without the individual having to generate their own immune response. The primary adaptive response is the initial immune response upon first exposure to an antigen. Active immunity is when the body generates its own antibodies (e.g., after vaccination or natural infection). Immunological memory is related to the ability of the immune system to remember previous exposures to antigens for a faster response in subsequent exposures.
