What do you mean by active and passive immunisation?
(N/A) Active immunisation: It promotes the production of circulating antibodies against foreign antigens by injecting a small quantity of modified antigen into the bloodstream.
Passive immunisation: It is the application of antibodies from an immune individual to a non-immune patient. This treatment is used when an individual has been,or probably will be,exposed to an infectious disease and there is insufficient time for active immunisation.
