ABSTRACT
When a pathogen activates B cells and T cells, memory B cells and memory T cells form, and the major immune response happens as a result. These memory cells "remember" every unique pathogen an animal encounters over the course of its lifetime and can develop a potent secondary response if the pathogen is discovered again. Due to the immune system's proactive self-preparation, this sort of immunity is both active and adaptable. The innate immune system and both the cell-mediated and humoral components of immunity are frequently involved in active immunity. Here, Maiorino discusses the naturally and artificially acquired active immunity.
