high levels of pathogen or toxin-specific Abs given to non-immune persons
atificial passive immunization

- Induce protective immune responses vs. attack of the natural infection
- Once immunized, individual less likely be a source of infection
indications of PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION
●** Congenital/ acquired B-cell defects** alone or in combination w/ other Immunodeficiencies
● When time does not allow protection w/ active immunization alone. (eg. Rabies, Hepatitis B)
