Detailed explanation-1: -Active Immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Active immunity can be acquired through natural immunity or vaccine-induced immunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Active Immunity-antibodies that develop in a person’s own immune system after the body is exposed to an antigen through a disease or when you get an immunization (i.e. a flu shot). This type of immunity lasts for a long time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Activation of immune responses due to the presence of pathogens evokes the release of cytokines, such as IL-1, TNF-, and IL-6, which initiate what is known as the acute-phase response of inflammation, aimed at fighting infection. The acute-phase response has metabolic and behavioral consequences.
