Scope note: Protección frente a un agente infeccioso mediada por LINFOCITOS B y T después de la exposición a un antígeno específico, que se caracteriza por una MEMORIA INMUNOLÓGICA. Puede ser resultado de una exposición previa al agente en cuestión o vacunación (INMUNIDAD ACTIVA), o a la transferencia de anticuerpos o linfocitos procedentes de un donante inmunizado (INMUNIZACIÓN PASIVA).

Scope note: Protection from an infectious disease agent that is mediated by B- and T- LYMPHOCYTES following exposure to specific antigen, and characterized by IMMUNOLOGIC MEMORY. It can result from either previous infection with that agent or vaccination (IMMUNITY, ACTIVE), or transfer of antibody or lymphocytes from an immune donor (IMMUNIZATION, PASSIVE).
