What is Passive Immunity?
In all species of mammals the transfer of Passive Immunity occurs where the mother passes on her complement of antibodies to her young. In the case of the newborn this helps in protecting the young against potentially pathogenic agents until the time its own immune system is sufficiently developed to ward off infection.
