Solution

Passive immunity can occur naturally when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus through the placenta. It can also be induced artificially when high levels of antibodies specific to a pathogen or toxin are transferred to non-immune persons. (examples:immunoglobulin therapy or antiserum therapy)
