Substance produced in response to antigen. (Immunoglobulin.)

Question 10

Cells that produce antibodies

Answer 10

B cell (lymphocytes)

Question 11

Active form of adaptive immunity

Is passed from another source. Mom to fetus.

Question 13

Natural adoptive immunity

Answer 13

When the body produces antibodies in response to pathogen.

Question 14

Artificial immunity

Answer 14

Involves an outside source to obtain antibodies

Vaccine

Answer 15

A prepared substance that initiates the immune response to a specific pathogen.

Question 16

Booster

Answer 16

Is an artificial immunity to help maintain a high titer of antibodies in the blood.

Question 17

Antiserum

Answer 17

Ready to made serum that gives short-lived but effective protection against the organism.
