Chapter 16, Problem 1b
Match each type of immunity in the numbered list with its associated example from the lettered list.
1. ___ Artificially acquired passive immunotherapy
2. ___ Naturally acquired active immunity
3. ___ Naturally acquired passive immunity
4. ___ Artificially acquired active immunity
A. Production of IgE in response to pollen
B. Acquisition of maternal antibodies in breast milk
C. Administration of tetanus toxoid
D. Administration of antitoxin
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the definitions of each type of immunity:
- Artificially acquired passive immunity involves receiving antibodies from an external source, not produced by the person's own immune system.
- Naturally acquired active immunity occurs when the body produces its own antibodies after exposure to a pathogen naturally.
- Naturally acquired passive immunity is when antibodies are received naturally, such as from mother to child.
- Artificially acquired active immunity involves stimulating the body's own immune response through vaccination or toxoid administration.
Step 2: Analyze each example and determine which type of immunity it represents:
- Example A (Production of IgE in response to pollen) involves the body's own immune response to a natural antigen, indicating naturally acquired active immunity.
- Example B (Acquisition of maternal antibodies in breast milk) involves receiving antibodies naturally from the mother, indicating naturally acquired passive immunity.
- Example C (Administration of tetanus toxoid) involves vaccination to stimulate the body's own immune response, indicating artificially acquired active immunity.
- Example D (Administration of antitoxin) involves receiving antibodies directly, indicating artificially acquired passive immunity.
Step 3: Match each numbered immunity type with the corresponding lettered example based on the analysis:
- Match 1 (Artificially acquired passive immunotherapy) with D.
- Match 2 (Naturally acquired active immunity) with A.
- Match 3 (Naturally acquired passive immunity) with B.
- Match 4 (Artificially acquired active immunity) with C.
Step 4: Review the matches to ensure they align with the definitions and examples provided, confirming the logic behind each pairing.
Step 5: Summarize the final matched pairs clearly for easy reference.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Types of Immunity
Immunity can be classified based on how it is acquired (naturally or artificially) and whether the immune response is active or passive. Active immunity involves the body producing its own antibodies, while passive immunity involves receiving antibodies from another source. Understanding these distinctions is key to matching immunity types with examples.

Immune Tolerance
Active vs Passive Immunity
Active immunity occurs when the immune system is stimulated to produce antibodies and memory cells, either through infection or vaccination. Passive immunity involves the direct transfer of antibodies from another individual, providing immediate but temporary protection without memory cell formation.

04:18Passive vs. Active Transport
Examples of Immunity Types
Examples help illustrate immunity types: naturally acquired active immunity includes antibody production after infection or allergen exposure; naturally acquired passive immunity involves maternal antibodies passed via breast milk; artificially acquired active immunity is vaccination with toxoids; artificially acquired passive immunity involves administration of antitoxins or antibodies.
