Types Of Immunity - Active Immunity - TeachMePhysiology

The body relies on the adaptive immune system and immunological memory to provide immunity and prevent recurrent infections with the same illness. This can also be taken advantage of within medicine through things such as vaccinations.

The various ways in which immunity is developed are generally split into ‘active’ (i.e. due to the body’s own immune response and immune cells) and ‘passive’ (i.e. as a result of antibodies) immunity. This article will consider the different types of immunity and finally, their roles within the immune system.
