The induction of immunity by artificially introducing antigens refers to:
Correct answer: C. Artificial active immunity
- A. Passive immunity
- B. Active immunity
- C. Artificial active immunity
- D. Passive active immunity
Explanation
Passive immunity refers to short-term immunity which results from the introduction of antibodies from another person or animal. •Artificial immunity refers to the immunity which refers to the production of antibodies by the immune system in response to the presence of an antigen. •The vaccine is introduced into the body to stimulate the formation of antibodies by the immune system. For example, a polio vaccine is available which helps to provide protection against poliomyelitis. Since over here, antigens are being introduced artificially, it will be considered as artificial active immunity.
