What is active acquired immunity?
Active acquired immunity is a type of immunity that results from the body's own immune system being activated to produce antibodies in response to exposure to a pathogen, such as through vaccination or recovering from an infection. This type of immunity provides long-lasting protection against future exposures to the same pathogen.
What is meant by the term attenuated pathogen?
An attenuated pathogen is a weakened form of a disease-causing microorganism that is used in vaccines to stimulate an immune response without causing the full-blown disease. Attenuated pathogens are less virulent than their wild-type counterparts, reducing the risk of causing illness in vaccinated individuals while still eliciting a protective immune response.
