Q

Innate immunity: passive vs active

Adaptive immunity: passive vs active

A

INNATE
Passive: mom ANTIBODIES move across placenta (IgG to fetus)/in breast milk (IgA to infant)
Active: ANTIBODIES for neutralization, opsonization, precipitation of toxin or pathogen (antidotes)
ADAPTIVE
Passive: immunization WITH BACTERIAL/VIRAL EPITOPES
Active: real-life exposure TO PATHOGEN

4. Pathogen removal/tissue repair

Repeat
