    Active immunity is induced after exposure to an infection or vaccine, resulting in antibody production. It can be natural, from direct exposure to a pathogen, or artificial from vaccination. Passive immunity is acquired from antibodies transferred from another, such as maternal antibodies transferred via breastmilk. It provides immediate but short-term protection without memory cell formation. Both active and passive immunity can be natural or artificial, with active immunity conferring longer-lasting protection through memory cell involvement.

    Definitions

    Passive Immunity: Immunity acquired by someone or something else.

    “ACTIVE AND PASSIVE IMMUNITY MIGHT BE NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL”.


    Comparison

    ACTIVE IMMUNITY PASSIVE IMMUNITY

    Natural : Antibodies made after being Natural : Antibodies transferred from a


    exposed to a pathogen mother to baby via breast milk

    Artificial : Antibodies made after getting Artificial : Immunity developed after an


    vaccinated(tetanus shot) immune serum medicine(monoclonal
    antibodies)
    Time taken : Takes time to develop Time Taken : No time lag, provides
