OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have a question. <How are antibodies made in active immunity.>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@InYourHead @thomaster Can you help?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

is that the actual question you were given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. that is the question. why?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

the immunological system is responsible for the creation of anti-body as a response to an exposure or when an antigen is induced. the active immunity is a direct result of that exposure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, in the active immunity antibodies are produced by an exposure (such as as vaccination) or when an antigen is induced?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

active vs passive immunity it is active when there's a direct exposure. while passive is when it is when the exposure is came from transplacental (i.e. from mother to young by milk) or by immunization (the heap-B, and other vaccinations)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so was i right? or was i a bit off?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you're right also, because it can also be active with vaccination. though there are two different ways of artificial active immunity. active: immunization (vaccination) with some product derived from the infectious agent (e.g. toxoid, killed cells, structural components of cells, inactivated or attenuated viruses, etc.) passive: injection of immune serum from an individual previously immunized or recovered from disease, i.e. hepatitis; injection of serum from an animal hyperimmunized with tetanus toxoid
