Flashcards
Passive Immunity
Passive Immunity
Immunity acquired through transfer of antibodies or sensitized cells from an immune to a non-immune individual; it offers short-term protection.
Active Immunity
Active Immunity
Immunity developed in response to an antigen exposure, stimulating the body to produce its own antibodies; it provides long-term protection.
Artificial Active Immunity
Artificial Active Immunity
A type of active immunity where antibodies develop post-vaccine administration.

Study Notes
GDC Learning Outcomes
- Focus is placed on applying dental therapy and hygiene principles derived from biomedical, behavioral, and materials sciences.
- A main aim is to build understanding of immunology.
Assessment Types
- Formative assessment is done via a quiz, whilst summative involves Biomedical Sciences Eassessment questions.
Immunology 2 Tasks
- One task includes reading and completing work related to pages 5-8 of the article, "An introduction to immunology and immunopathology" by Richard Warrington et al.
- Another task is to complete a self-assessment quiz on antibody mediated and cell mediated immunity.
Learning Outcomes
- Aim to review antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity by reading appropriate resources and completing a self-assessment quiz.
- Goal is to define and recognize the variances between antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity.
- There is a need to be able recognise and explain passive and active immunization.
Antibody-Mediated and Cell-Mediated Immunity
- Consolidation of learning is key.
- The Cellular Immune Response is described in a YouTube video.
- Antigen processing and presentation is described on YouTube.
Passive vs Active Immunity:
- Immunity is acquired (adaptive)
- Passive immunity is split into natural and artificial
- Natural passive immunity involves mother’s antibodies through placenta/breast milk.
- Artificial passive immunity involves transferred therapeutic agents like snake antitoxin or immunoglobulin for transplant.
- Passive immunity transfers antibodies or sensitized cells from an immune person to a non-immune one.
- Passive Immunity provides short duration and puts person at risk when immunity runs out.
- Passive Immunity should be used when infection risk is high and the body's own response is not developed.
- Active immunity is split into natural and artificial
- Natural active immunity involves antibodies developed in response to infection.
- Artificial active immunity involves antibodies developed in response to a vaccination.
- Active immunity occurs via production of antibodies against a specific agent after exposure to the antigen.
- Specific antibodies are identified as foreign and the response is specific to a particular antigen.
- Memory: antigen is remembered
Immunisation
- Artificial active immunity is when antibodies develop after immunization/administration of a vaccine occurs.
- Immunological memory is created.
- A specific immune reaction is induced against a weakened/killed microorganism.
- Subsequent infections from the same pathogen raise a stronger and faster defensive reaction.
- The reactions may come from antibodies and/or cells.
- Antibodies attach to specific surface structures on an antigen and activate the complement system.
