Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 1AYKA
Your friend tests her snake-wrangling skills on an eastern diamondback rattlesnake, and is bitten and envenomated (injected with the snake’s venom). In the emergency department, doctors administer the antivenin CroFab, which contains antibodies to the toxins in snake venom. Is this an example of active or passive immunity? Will this confer any lasting protection to your friend?

Max is bitten by a rattlesnake while on a camping trip. His friends immediately apply ice packs to the bitten area to slow the spread of the protein-based toxin; they then rush him to an emergency facility. Upon doing blood work, it was determined that Max had a bacterial infection from a tick bite resulting in a primary humoral response. The doctor told Max that he was lucky because the tick could have also caused Lyme's disease, but he had natural active immunity to that microbe.
What is a primary humoral response? Be sure to address the cell types, cell products, and time frame of this response.

Max's immune response also includes cellular immunity. Explain how that differs from humoral immunity. Be sure to address the cell types, cell products, and time frame of this response
