Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In ____ immunity, antibodies are produced after having encountered a pathogen or antigen.
A
passive
B
active
C
direct
D
indirect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the normal course of an infection, a pathogen first proliferates to a level sufficient to elicit an adaptive immune response and then stimulates the production of antibodies and effector T cells that eliminate the pathogen from the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antibodies are produced by B cells (specialized white blood cells). When an antigen comes into contact with a B cell, it causes the B cell to divide and clone. These cloned B cells-or plasma cells-release millions of antibodies into your bloodstream and lymph system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Acquired immunity is immunity that develops with exposure to various antigens. Your immune system builds a defense against that specific antigen. Passive immunity is due to antibodies that are produced in a body other than your own.
