Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of immunity: Immunity is the body's ability to resist or eliminate potentially harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells.

Differentiate between active and passive immunity: Active immunity involves the production of antibodies by the immune system in response to the presence of an antigen, whereas passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source.

Identify examples of passive immunity: Receiving antibodies through breast milk and transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus are examples of passive immunity, as they involve the transfer of antibodies without the immune system actively producing them.

Recognize examples of active immunity: Vaccination with a live attenuated virus is an example of active immunity because it stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies in response to the antigen present in the vaccine.

Clarify the role of immune globulin injections: Injection of immune globulin is a form of passive immunity, as it involves the direct introduction of antibodies into the body, rather than stimulating the body's own immune response.
