People with the Rhesus antigen present in their blood
rh positive
microscopic organism consisting of genetic material (RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein, lipid (fat), or glycoprotein coat.
virus
protects body against future infection as a result of antibodies that develop naturally after contracting an infection, or artificially via a vaccine (dead virus);
active immunity
antibodies that occur naturally through the mother’s placenta, or through injection of serum that contains antibodies
passive immunity
injection
passive immunity
infection
active immunity
pathogen, causes formation of antibodies
