Acquired Immunity Correct Answer • Active Immunity:
develops after a foreign antigen is introduced to the body
resulting in the formation of antibodies and sensitive T
lymphocytes.

the flu or if we were to, it decreases the severity of our
symptoms.
- Ex: Contracting an illness and having immunity the second
time around due to the memory cells.
• Passive Immunity: occurs when a person receives an antibody
produced in another body. It provides immediate but short-term
protection against antigens.
,- Ex. Infants acquire passive immunity naturally through breast
milk, these antibodies disappear between 6 to 12 months or
artificially through injection of gamma globulin to boost a
person's immune system.
