Which scenario explains how a patient can be protected by passive artificial immunity?
a. Receiving an injection with immune glo-bulin
b. Receiving immunizations
c. Contracting the disease
d. Consuming sufficient antioxidants
A
Immunoglobulin contains antibodies against not just one but many infectious diseases. This type of immune globulin is used when a susceptible person is exposed to or contracts a communicable disease since it enhances the immune system. Immunizations are a form of active artificially ac-quired immunity. Contracting the disease initiates naturally acquired immunity. Antioxidants are thought to simply boost the immune system.
