passive immunity - produced by the introduction of antibodies into individuals from an outside source
no direct contact with the pathogen or antigen is required
natural passive immunity - antibodies transferred from mother to infant from breastfeeding
artificial passive immunity - you are injected with antibodies
e.g. plasma transfusion, tetanus shot
problems with passive immunity:
maternal antibodies pass from placenta into foetal blood
breast feeding passes antibodies present in the colostrum
protection is temporary and only lasts a few months after birth
immunity is produced quickly
causes short term protection
