IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of adaptive immunity: active and passive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptive immunity is defined by two important characteristics: specificity and memory. Specificity refers to the adaptive immune system’s ability to target specific pathogens, and memory refers to its ability to quickly respond to pathogens to which it has previously been exposed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Active artificially acquired immunity refers to any immunization with an antigen. By giving a safe form of the antigen artificially, the body will produce its own antibodies and, more importantly, develop circulating, long-lived B-memory cells with high affinity B-cell receptors on their surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adaptive immune responses are carried out by white blood cells called lymphocytes. There are two broad classes of such responses-antibody responses and cell-mediated immune responses, and they are carried out by different classes of lymphocytes, called B cells and T cells, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -Artificial immunity can be active or passive.
