Detailed explanation-1: -Adaptive immunity: Adaptive (or active) immunity develops throughout our lives. We develop adaptive immunity when we’re exposed to diseases or when we’re immunized against them with vaccines. Passive immunity: Passive immunity is “borrowed” from another source and it lasts for a short time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Naturally acquired active immunity occurs after an infection activates the person’s immune system. For example, non-immunized children who develop measles and recover from the illness, get better because they have made an effective immune response against the measles virus.
Detailed explanation-3: -If an antigen enters the body and B-cells recognize it (either from having had the disease before or from being vaccinated against it), B-cells will produce antibodies. When antibodies attach to an antigen (think a lock–key configuration), it signals other parts of the immune system to attack and destroy the invaders.
