Short-lived immunity acquired from mother to foetus placenta or through mother’s milk to the infant is categorized as passive immunity.

Active immunity is a type of immunity which is acquired by the body upon exposing the body to antigen. It results in the production of antibodies.

Cellular immunity is a type of immunity that involves the activation of phagocytes, antigen-sensitized cytotoxic T cells and the release of cytokines and chemokines in response to antigen.

Innate non-specific immunity is a type of immunity with which you were born, made up of physiological, chemical and cellular barriers.
