प्रश्न
It is generally observed that the children who had suffered from chicken – pox in their childhood may not contract the same disease in their adulthood. Explain giving reasons the basics of such immunity in an individual. Name this kind of immunity.
उत्तर
People who have suffered from chickenpox in their childhood may not contract the disease again because of acquired immunity which is characterised by memory.
Acquired immunity is pathogen-specific. At the incidence of the first encounter with the microbe, the body produces a primary response of low intensity. On subsequent encounters with the same pathogen, a secondary response occurs which is of high intensity. This is attributed to the fact that our body has memory of the pathogen from the first encounter which had resulted in the production of antibodies against the pathogen.
