Respuesta :
When a person is bitten by a rabid dog, by artificially acquired passive immunity, medical personnel does attempt to prevent infection by the rabies virus.
What is passive immunity?
- The transmission of a ready-made antibody's active humoral immunity is known as passive immunity.
- Passive immunity can develop naturally, as when a baby absorbs a mother's antibodies through the placenta or breast milk, or artificially, as when someone obtains antibodies through an injection (gamma globulin injection).
- The main benefit of passive immunity is that it provides instant protection, and only lasts for a few weeks or months.
- Passive vaccination essentially involves giving the body antibodies that have already been created by others, such as pooled gamma globulin, which will instantly detect and destroy an antigen to offer protection.
- However, this passive form of defense does not result in immunologic memory and skips the processes in primary exposure.
