Explain acquired immunity.

1.	Explain acquired immunity.
Answer» This type of immunity is acquired by the body in response to a specific germ. The body develops a specific antibody against a specific antigen and learns to fight that antigen. It remembers and can fight any future onslaught of a specific germ. This action initiates cell mediated immunity in the body. There are two types of active immunity which are as follows: 1. Active Immunity: When body proactively prepares an antibody against a specific antigen, it is called active immunity. 2. Passive Immunity: In this case, the body does not make any antibody. The antibody is specially inoculated in the body from outside. This is usually seen in case of vaccination against some diseases, e.g. vaccination against tetanus.
