Active immunity. Definition. noun. A type of immunity or resistance developed in an organism by its own production of antibodies in response to an exposure to an antigen, a pathogen or to a vaccine.Supplement.ctive immunity is generally long-term and can be acquired by infection followed by B cells and T cells activation, or artificially acquired by vaccines, in a process called immunization. Thus, an active immunity often involves humoral immunity (B-cells) and cell-mediated immunity (T-cells).
Humoral immunity is called active when the organism generates its own antibodies, and passive when antibodies are transferred between individuals or species. Similarly, cell mediated immunity is active when the organismsâ own T-cells are stimulated, and passive when T cells come from another organism.
