Acquired immunity is a form of immunity gained from bacteria or viruses by the body ITSLEF. Essentially the body has encountered the pathogen (bacteria/virus) and learnt by itself which anti-bodies to produce to fight it. Once the body has found which antibodies are the most effective this information is stored in "memory cells" which, if encounter the same pathogen can quickly make the correct type antibodies to fight the invading pathogen and defeat it quickly. (antibodies are produced by lymphocytes which neutralize toxins and clump bacterium together meaning the phagocytes can engulf them quicker and digest via enzymes) acquired immunity is "natural" including Innate immunity (antibodies passed through placenta/breast milk. artificial immunity includes Active (given modified bacteria which does no harm but body learns how to produce antibodies) and Passive (injected with Antibodies - requires "top-up")

You are born with innate immunity which consists of natural barriers to infection. Acquired is developed after birth when you come into contact with antigens

What are the two components of specific immunity?
Humoral Immunity- acquired immunity in which the role of circulating antibodies is predominant. Natural Immunity- the resistance of the normal animal to infection
What type of immunity has the properties of specificity and memory?
Acquired immunity (also known as adaptive immunity) This immune reaction is quite fast due to the immune memory.
What are two kinds of immunity?
active acquired immunity and passive acquired immunity
What form of immunity is acquired through vaccination?
acquired immunity
What is the difference between active acquired immunity and passive acquired immunity?
active acquired is from you having a ds and getting immunity or a vaccine and passive is from mother to child.
What is the acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease is?
what is the acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease
What specific type of acquired immunity do vaccines provide?
Artificially acquired active immunity.
Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.

Passive natural immunity
Which term is also known as passive immunity?
natural immunity
Where do antibodies come from in the active immunity process?
You need to be more specific. Do you mean the Naturally acquired active immunity process or the Artificially acquired active immunity process? Both are of the Adaptive Immunity process. There are also passive processes for each.
What type of immunity do you get when you get a vaccine?
artificially acquired active immunity
