    Passive Immunity Notes

    Passive immunity is artificially conferred when a person receives immune serum or gamma globulin containing donated antibodies from another individual. This transfers existing antibodies to provide short-term protection against specific pathogens without the person generating their own immune response. The antibodies are pre-formed and already able to recognize and neutralize pathogens, but this protection is temporary lasting only a few months.
