Question

State how a person could specifically acquire each of the other 3 types of humoral immunity to rabies virus.

Answer 1

There are 2 active methods and 1 passive humoral immunity method one can have to get protection from the rabies vaccine. The first one is natural immunity. It can be seen that certain people have antibodies that are strong enough to kill rabies virus. This is his natural defense mechanism and is an active one. The second one is the vaccine method where rabies vaccine is being given. The vaccine will consist of inactivated rabies virus which will help stimulate the production of rabies antibodies suitable to kill any rabies virus invading body thereafter. The third method is through direct administration of antibodies to the blood of the patient for fighting against the rabies virus. This antibody can be either man-made or natural. This method is called the passive humoral immunity method.
