When you are exposed to a bacterial glycoprotein, your body elicits:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Active immune response
Active immunity develops when your own body produces antibodies in response to an antigen. In this case, the bacterial glycoprotein acts as an antigen and the body produces antibodies in response to it. Therefore this is an active immune response.
Passive immune response is when you are provided with pre-made antibodies directly to protect yourself against the antigen. This is not applicable here.
Auto immunity refers to the condition in which immune cells consider self-cells as foreign substances and attack them.
A foreign material such as bacterial glycoprotein will elicit a response and therefore, the answer cannot be no response.
